Also what else would be involved, I have an 82 tooth sprocket at the moment, i've heard with the bigger motors u need 2 sprockets and 2 chains...

Thankz,
Tydd

if this is a horizontal shaft motor can you take lots of pics of the torque converter being put on and stuff, i want to use one but i cant figer out how, or if ill have room to mount one. (hell if you can can you make some sort of step by step thing for me? ill give you a cookie :))

It was a Comet TAV2 Torque-A-Verter Converter.. Not sure if it will hold up but hopefully it will..
I'm thinkin i might need to make up a bracket to mount it on the 13hp but yeah, that mite stiffen the torque converter up a bit as well.. Has anyone actually used one of those torque converters??

It comes as a unit, it has pre-drilled holes in the backing plate that u bolt straight onto the motor, and the drive sprocket is on the inside of the other pulley.. I can try get pics up soon..
