any update?

Yes. Better late than never right?

Lots of planning and collecting things went into this before actual work began, but in November of 2017 we got down to business. I will now bring everyone reading this up to date.

Teardown begins:

Earlier this week I separated the old ATX from the motor and removed all the accessories I wont be using off of the motor. Currently working on cleaning up the engine to give it some paint and begin bolting some new parts on.

Will try to do a much better job of updating here now that we are rolling on this project. Hope to have it together soon!

Mine is literally a power rack that's been gutted and sealed up. Not going to be running any power steering.
