Besides design and fabrication of the cases, it seems like almost a machine shop-type conversion. Since you don’t find cases just lying around, and building them probably requires an engineering degree, why not try the modification with a set of relatively common Harley 45 cases? These were made from 1925 to the 70’s in a couple of different versions, all flatheads, but had 4 cams in the case, and were very reliable; the WR and WLD racing versions were pretty fast, as well. They aren’t getting scarce yet, though the price is creeping up. There have been several “45 Magnum” conversions built using ironhead Sportster cylinders, which require a LOT of special welding and machine work, but are very light and powerful. I have also seen at least one bike with 45 cases using either Matchless or BSA 500 cc jugs. Since they aren’t making any more BSA’s or Matchless’s, but there are literally millions of Enfield cylinders, pistons, heads, etc., all over Asia and elsewhere, why not? They’re probably more prevalent than Sporty Ironhead parts, and cheaper, too. Drop one into a Featherbed or similar cradle frame, and freak them out…
