I'm starting to sort through what I've accumulated for use in my eldo build up and have two engines to choose from. There is the original 850 that is now blasted and bathed clean (both engine and transmission) and an 850T engine that is still together (transmission apart and cases cleaned). I am thinking of this build to be a rider but with that wonderful loop frame aesthetic so I'd like to do updates/upgrades. What are the virtues of choosing to upgrade the eldo drive train? I've done the obvious by replacing the original piston/cylinders with gilardoni but I am undecided about the 850T vs eldo heads, carbs, charging systems and oil filtration (can I mount an outsider on either engine?). Thoughts ?ThanksHarry

Nothing I did got the cases to look good so in the end I just sprayed them with engine paint, that's how most otherGuzzis are done, easy to touch up.
Will either of the outside oil filter/spacer plates offered by Harpers and MG Cycle fit the eldo block after the eldo block has been modified for an interior oil filter?Will there be clearance issues?
Oops...I also need the front bearing housing from an engine with interior oil filter. Anyone have both pan and housing as spares to sell?Am I missing anything else?Thanks Charlie. Good point. I'll do the build and see what I have before doing an external filter.Harry
