hey guys its been a while. Wondering what machene work is needed to put shovel jugs, heads, and rocker boxes on an old iron head. I have the chance to get the whole upper end from a 74" shovel for nothing. need to know about push rod issues if any, the base of the jug if that needs to be worked, and if I need to get longer pistons or shorter ones. also if I have to stroke the motor to get it to work, or can I leave this part the way it is. thanks.

Google "Shovester". That's what they were called back in the day. Since the BT has 1 cam & the XL has 4 cams, there are "issues", as the weinies say nowadays. Seems like Trock had a hand in building them, but that might just be my memory acting up.

Went there and perused the threads about 'em. The Pat Leahy guy referred to in one of the posts had a b-a Sporty featured in an old Choppers mag many moons ago. I think I remember them doing some burnouts in an alley and grenading the thing during the pic shoot.
They talked a bit about the 45 Magnum, too. I rode one of those once. Owner said to be nice, 'cause he figgered the bottom end wouldn't hold up. I was. He blew it up himself tryin' a hill climb.
