I always thought the reason for case reeds was so the rear of the cylinder could be used for transfer ports. Transfer port area is why rotatory valve engines reigned supreme for so long.

I suspect Henry's converted engine is also powerful due to his reed area/flow capacity emulates the quoted modern reed engine(s). As such Henry's large modern flatslide carbs have an excellent signal/velocity for fuel pickup/atomization, even at WOT. Baxter/Laurens also use/have used reeds/reed boxes of sufficient size to replicate the flow characteristics of modern factory reeded engines......

you are correct falconman, that's why i did it,

Actually you can get the same transfer port area with reed valves as with a rotary valve. The rotary valve advantage was an unimpeded intake flow path and asymmetrical intake timing.

Internet photos are fun.
Building the thing from scratch and having it in your garage is bad a$$.

But you are correct, it's cool to have something you built and modified yourself in the garage!

Looks like someone is dreaming a little bit of "what if" with this one

Think I just about creamed myself looking at that Henry
