Greg, I am a little leary of adding any more stress to this lathe as it is operating out of its range of speed as it is. No fan, just took off a cover and the lathe bearings are down to 80 degrees.
I am thinking of buying a complete assembled long block,(I have a disassembled one here that might go back together) building a mount off one of the cam towers, and drive the engine from a cam gear with a big electic motor at 3450rpms, which will turn the crank at almost redline. That way I have a contained oiling system (no mess). start up will be interesting but once the flywheel get moving it will spin up.
Tim
