Cool this thread isn't what I had envisioned!

Keep your cylinder away from Preparation-H if you want it to stay that size.

I always thought that the Liger was casted  by CPI as a whole different animal. If I remember the thread from the other forum, the Roid started out as a zilla cylinder that was heavily bored out using a different sleeve, had some sort of snowmobile intake grafted into the stock location, and was heavily reinforced around the ears.

Who is the one that bought the complete roid engine on e-bay that 500Fanatic built? Maybe we can get some more pictures posted & a performance report?
(I guess I just answered part of one of my original questions)

From what i hear the "roid" motors where time bombs and never really stayed together long enuff to ever make any good times. now the liger on the other hand chris got his running pretty well.

Man those liners are thin

Roid motor and liger are diffrent roid is a big reed bored out huge. believe it has a +3mm stoke also. The liger is a cp aftermarket cylinder. Only roid i know of dale has.

There's 2 that I know of. The dual carb never run one that was on fleebay and Skully's

There where a few twinzilla had one with a stock big reed cage i kicked around buying. not sure where it got to. Last i heard skullys was a paperweight. one guy had one in a hybrid for the life of.me cant remember his name. the one on ebay was full tilts i believe his name was mike? Skully switched to the liger it was more economical to make and way more reliable chris has got very impressive numbers from his so far and it still hasnt reached it potential. i dont really see the point other than a straight line or hillshooter tho.

alot goes into building a liger. mine is a destroked bigbore longrod liger. 685cc. so far its stayed together this go around. my fastest pass so far is a 4.14ET in 300ft. Fat rich, no lockup, no N2O, out of gear and safe timing. only time will tell if it will get into the 3's.

there is wedling of the cases. machining them true again. making of an adapter plate. crank work. cylinder, piston, rod, reeds, intake, carb, pipe, ignition, battery, fuel pump, clutch, over ride.  your looking at two maybe three complete zillas just for the motor. no even looking at the frame to get it to hook up. lol. its been a ride. but hopefully when its all done i could sell it and pay for not one but both my kids college. 

im debating on taking the liger to a dune race this coming weekend or just riding the 540 and seeing what it does.

but i will def post results the weekend of the 25th (weather permitting). got the lockup in and regearing and rejetting. maybe even spray to get that 3 second mark. lol

I know some of the first roids had their share of teething problems. Just wondering if any of the builders have looked into developing them further for increased reliability?

Chris, good luck, be safe, & have fun on your outing. Who besides yourself do you know of that is running a zilla based liger? I think it would be a good subject for a writeup on building a ligerzilla... unless there are certain trade secrets to keep?

skully is the only other person with a ligerzilla.

Just add 2000 to the name and it will sound powerful AND futuristic.
ex. "There's our inter-dimensional friend Bert, he's riding that Ligerzilla 2000."
