The 948 cc in my Bugeye is beginning to get a little tired so I plan on
replacing it with the 1275 cc in my garage.I understand that there is a
need to do a"slight" bit of grinding on the smoothcase bell housing to get
it to fit. Other than that, what other considerations are there? Do I use
the back plate from the 1275 and just bolt it on? How about clutch
activation? The carbs on the 1275 are shot,---would like to run the HS2's
from the 948. Would they bolt onto the 1275 manifold? Will the vertical
flow radiator handle the BTU's.  I would like to hear from anyone who has
done this conversion.  Any thoughts would be much appreciated.    Bob C.
