Rare white British big bore pre '85 twinshock fourstroke ? Sounds interesting . The only thing I can think of is a 4 valve CCM .

What about one of those Armstrongs, didn't they have a Rotax 4 stroke motor?

 I think Armstrong took over from Can Am ( including the Sonic ) in about '83 or '84 . The only thing is , I think that they were all single shock bikes .

Which grail is harder to find? The Jag or the E49?
Cheers,

To my limited knowledge the standard version of both the Jag and the Charger aren't especially rare. I've got a base model XJS and I wouldn't be surprised if a base model Charger or two have passed through Mopar HQ at E74s place.
The E49 and Walkinshaw are a hell of a lot rarer though. I'm not sure of the number of E49s produced but I reckon that "not many" would be an apt number. Ditto with the Walkinshaws. They are so rare as for me to admit that I've only ever seen two in the flesh and one of them was a convertible. A very small number were made for homologation purposes to legitimise the specs for Group A touring car racing. As much as I like E74s E49 and openly admit that it's an extremely rare and cool unit and that it'd probably whoop the Jag in a drag race, I think the Walkinshaw Jag would be a fair bit rarer but the Charger worth a fair bit more.
Below, my "normal" XJS with Jonesys '69 Mustang. Compare the body kit differences between mine and the Walkinshaw.

Hey E74.....As our resident Mopar guy, I have some stuff for sale that you may be interested in. I've got a basket case 413 big block Max Wedge engine that is fitted with the factory "pink" camshaft and the good rods and steel crank. The engine is siezed in the bores from sitting for years with water in the cylinders but everything except the bore and pistons may be usable. The engine's apart but is all there including heads, cast iron inlet manifold, alternator, starter, manual flywheel and most everything else.
It's rough but is a good starter as Max Wedge 413 engines are quite rare. It should bore to 4.25 which would give you a 426, just like the old Ramchargers.
I also have a bell housing to suit a top loader (gearbox sold), VH-CM front crossmember modified to take the big block, and big block tailshaft to suit VH ute. This stuff has been in my shed for 25 years and is left overs from a 440 VH ute project.
I'm simplifying my shed contents and as I doubt that I'll ever build a big block anything again, this stuff has to go. If you or anybody is interested, please make me an offer. I don't want to get rich off the proceeds, I just need to make more room.

Sorry to hijack the Silver Bullet Husky thread but this just came to mind so I figured now is as good a time as any to offer this stuff up to the Mopar fiends on the forum! Now...where were we? Oh yeah, Petes new Husky!

I got thrown off track with my guess of what the big white beast was , because of the bogus clue that said it was a twinshock  :) . It's a quad-shock  :D . Old mate that lives down the road from me had a E55 (?) Charger with a 340 Hemi V8 motor . Is a E55 rarer than a E49 ?
