I have a 1962 Schwinn twin straight bar with a Whizzer J motor that I'm going to resurrect.
Will eventually become a tribute bike, Big Daddy Roth!
More to come...

I've wanted to do similar, but I just can't afford a whizzer engine
Anything is possible, you just have to think it and say it. That's how it starts.
I bought these 4 cranks for $10.00 off of ebay, had them cleaned up and reground for $45.00 per crank, added the con rods for another $40.00 bucks. I can keep them or sell them for $275.00 per.

I have 15 ready to go. I'll probably keep them for future motors.

I've just been way too busy at home to get a job.
 
I went with the J motor casues I have more of them and I ported it, and put the whizzer big valves. So it's like my 300 motors.
Also I built the wheels using S-2 rims with 120ga spokes,rims are painted cream with some pinstriping. Schwinn front forebrake for the front and a bendix rear hub. Schwinn Typhoon tires.
