So the wife asked me to make a Christmas stocking holder...

No high performance engine parts were harmed in the making of this Christmas stocking holder!!! Its slightly heavy, but nice and stable.

Very cool! Is that a bergman 82 stroker that makes up the bottom crank portion?

Good eye. Its a Bergman 84mm. I bought a whole engine real cheap from a trike guy. He bought it as a turnkey 2332cc from Bergman new. Only 1500 miles, and it seized a rod bearing with a chunk of something in the oil. It left one small shallow groove around one rod journal. I will polish it out and run it in one of my own experiment engines. The rest of that engine was a mismatched basket case. Hemi cut, non-ported heads, and I calculated 7.6:1 with a 110 cam. It might have made 100hp on a good day.

Be careful if you're really going to use it, and kids are involved.
