Suzuki GT750 race engine builder?

Hi all,
I am in contact with Frank Mrazek in Czechoslovakia ( google him) and he has asked me to build an engine for him, unfortunately, I don't have the time due to work commitments. I can supply some of the parts, ie, base plate for cylinder, copper head gasket, close ratio gearbox, right hand gearchange case and shaft ( he has dodgy left ankle, after 60 years racing, he's 75 years old and still winning races), his season starts in 2 months, he can ship the engine asap, so needs it done in that timescale, he has been racing a Trident but was passed by a TR750 and now wants one to win the championship, I'd love to help him fulfill his dream.
If anyone can help out, please let me know asap with contact details and I will pass them on.

Keith

WOW, Frank is still around! He raced here in Canada with the VRRA. Really fast guy. Good to hear he's still in the game.
Cheers,
JG

Hi Ewan,
He will send a complete engine, cylinder will need porting, I will supply the base plate and copper head gasket, he has a crank done by Chris Appleby, he also has a gearbox from Oily Tom, I will supply the clutch case with r/h change and shaft to suit, I don't yet know what ignition he is going to use and I don't know if he has straight cut primaries, obviously crank will need splitting to fit gear.
Let me know if you can help and I will contact Frank.

Cheers
Keith

Looks like Frank is going to have to write an addendum to biography (a great read by the way). I didn't think he would ever retire so I feared the worse when I didn't see him at the races. Very happy to hear he is still giving his competitors fits! :D

Hi Chris,
he is back in Czecho but is struggling to get anything done, I would really love to help him and I will do what I can but having to earn a living gets in the way of enjoying yourself.
I need to get things moving, if he is going to have the engine in 2 months, I suppose I could supply the parts to build the engine and get them from Frank, if it will save time.
