    Extrusions help

     



    Hi everyone,

    Ok this is probably a bit off being a car hotrod board and all,

    I'm a nubee to the scene of hotrodding but have been riding various different bikes over the years, and have always wanted something a bit special. So finally I've gathered up the courage and money to try and make my own hemi V8 powered bike.

    Ok

    I know pretty much what I would like it to do stats wise but I just don't know where to begin to look for extrusions and the pieces I figured I would need would be quite specific.
    Do you know any specialist extruders or do you just buy pipe and bend it?

    Engine wise
    I'm looking at 5.2 - 6.0(5.7 rebore) litre range.
    Does anyone know if mopar actually made a 5.2 litre engine though? or have any suggestions on this.

    #3 This is really daft to ask but what kind of tools will I need, and is there a requirement of special training with acetylene welding.

    Thanks

    Welcome to CHR Iain
    I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say extrusions. I'm assuming you mean a tubing bender to bend frame tubing. Extrusion is done by pushing the material (say like aluminum) through a die to make lengths of a certain shape part. Sorta' like pushin' meat through a meat grinder, well sorta'.

    Haven't heard of acetylene welding a bike frame. Do you mean MIG or TIG welding? (MIG or TIG for mild steel tubing, TIG for chromoly tubing)

    I'm not a Mopar guy, but there are a few here that can answer your MOpar engine questions?
