Sloper or "upright"?

I know I have gear sets and cranks. Probably have barrels and cylinders and might have 175 heads Bare or complete.

Do you just have empty cases or were all the internals junk or are you planning to upsize a CB160? The reason I ask is that 160 cases have to be modified to take 175 cylinders and shift drum. The gear sets drop straight in.

I have 175 sloper cases which will take all of those items. I also have a racing problem/addiction.
I'm just looking for spares to put together a B motor and have some backup spares for when I need to refresh or if I grenade one of them.

They are hard to destroy unless you try really hard.

From the last picture, you can see why this is officially called an "Ignition problem"

We have that same addiction but need to thin out the herd. We have two "As Raced" CB160/CL175s plus three projects in various stages of build plus piles of parts. I love building them but there's no room in the shop so they all have to go to a good home sooner rather than later. Start your own race school

I have 175 sloper cases which will take all of those items. I also have a racing problem/addiction, so having spare parts around never seems like a bad idea. I’m mainly looking for enough pieces to put together a B motor and keep some backups on the shelf for when one needs a refresh or I manage to grenade something. Tropical Casino https://tropical-casino.com/ makes me think of the same basic logic with session limits and game history: having a clear fallback and knowing what happened last time is better than scrambling after something goes wrong. Nothing fancy, just trying to be prepared before I actually need the parts.

Makes sense — for race motors, having a complete B engine and enough spares on the shelf is a lot less painful than hunting parts after something lets go.

Since you’re working with 175 sloper cases, that should make it easier for folks to sort through what they’ve got. If anyone has loose sloper 175 top-end parts, cranks, trans bits, or even partial motors, this would be a good time to dig them out. Might also help to mention whether you’re after usable-as-is parts only, or cores that need machine work too.
