    Default ? where to find engines?

    My buddy is trying to build a triton (norton frame with a triumph motor) can anyone suggest local places to check out?
    I spend money on HP not Brand Names.

    i only know of 2 decent used motorcycle spots, and they're not local. moto-connection (motoconnection.com) is in florida, and they're got some of EVERYTHING. i've had a couple buddies buy wrecked bikes from them and fix them up. i also have a friend who bought an r1 motor from them (we drove down to pick it up). simpson cycles (simpsoncycles.com) is in south carolina. i bought a head for a cbr from them not too long ago, and it came out perfect. the last best place is ebay...i bought a motor for an old ninja 600e that turned out perfect. yeah, but if he was going to build this thing from scratch...motoconnection might be his best option...they're expensive, but it's worth it.

    Simpson cycles is on ebay also. They are usually reasonable on price, but not cheap.
