Thanks for the heads up.

When one compares Harrison crankshafts to it's cousin the British Anzani all one has to do is compare the bearings it ran on both on top and bottom and that tells the story entirely. In the pictures everything large is Harrison A and B Alky where everything smaller is its older cousin, the A & B Stock Racing and Alky racing Anzanis.

Hello, I found your site looking for info on my Harrison, its not an A-B like yours I think its a C class.It's numbers on the cylinders are VC 67140.....And C 269. I really enjoyed the info you have up here. I live in ohio, not that far from Birmingham.I'm gonna try to put some pics up,it turns over nice, but just missing alot of pieces. Ok thanks for any info...Chip,AOMC member.

Chip, those are Harrison clamps, but the motor is a Konig 500cc racer ... "VC 67140" the 140th 500cc V series Konig, made in 1967.

I'm pretty sure this was one of the first rotary valve Konig opposed 4's

Sam is 100% correct. How do I know? I had one. Also notice that this early rotary valve motor has the same style heads as the 4-carb piston port model (had one of those too) and has six volt ignition.

The pictures just go to show you how far a racer will go to use HRP racing products. A Konig piston port engine on the Harrison HRP tower/clamps. That is another example of the inventiveness in Pro - Alky racing.

I think I needed more coffee to wake up on that one. Missed the carbs and belt driven rotary valve entirely!!

Thanks for the info guys, at least now I know what I'm dealing with here..... OH and to think, the guy I got this from was gonna cut it up for a bike engine! (or so he thought) Good luck with all your projects. Thanks,Chip.....
