Not the Marauder...
Amazing.
I knew the block was busted under the carbs where the alternator attaches, I thought it was caused by the starter gear idler. It's been parked a few years for several reasons, but I finally got around to working on it (one of the last projects in the way of jumping into the '68 Mustang Fastback restomod project). I was very surprised to see the hole in the front of the block when I pulled the radiator off. I actually rode the bike home like this, it ran but it had a miss. I guess that happens when you sling a rod through the block.
I do have a replacement engine, it has just been sitting in the corner waiting for me to get around to it.
