AC cases in LC frame?

[pdxjim]

I'm having a set of pipes made for my LC.

I'll be delivering my LC rolling chassis to the pipe builder for fitment.

Since my cyls are off at the tuner's, and the pipe builder has loads of AC 350 cases and a set of LC cyls at his disposal, I'm wondering the feasibility of him knocking up a empty dummy motor with AC cases, and LC cyls, to fit in the LC chassis.

Good idea, or better to just send him over my pristine freshly rebuilt, vapor blasted cases, minty sidecovers, etc for pipe fitment?

They do not fit. AC front engine mounts are a lot wider.

I thought the AC cyls fitted on the LC cases if thats an option. Ive no actual experience tho of that, Im a watercooled guy lol

Thank you sirs.

I'll just send off my engine with the chassis.

Was hoping to reduce the number of times my minty fresh engine needs to go in and out of the frame.
