Most likely lost because of the 'hosting' site. When pics are directly posted here, it doesn't happen. If they're attached to a thread via a link, they can/do disappear.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...

Since the other pics went down here is one that I did from a long time ago.
Laying out the lines and welding the braces.

Cut and cut and cut



Rough idea

Didn't get any of the pics of me welding it up or making the filler plates

Hope it helps someone!

Nice work!

I did a video of mine, sectioned 2" because I went rack & pinion as well. Starts at about 4min:

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...

I saved a pdf of a How-To off of Capt Kaos' website about 15 years ago, it should help anyone wanting to do this modification.
