Mr Chandler, I couldn't agree with you more on the possible benefits of a center bearing for a rotating shaft.... but not a Mangusta jackshaft. First, the bearing spacing front to back is quite short so single-vee-belt driven deflections under power are unlikely, and as I remenber Steve's jackshaft, I think the material is tool steel and the diameter is (or was) massive overkill: large enough to transfer 500 horsepower- bigger than a ZF input shaft! I also suspect that heat expansion of the block & intake twist stock jackshafts and their aluminum supports far from an aligned center. But since my only shot at owning a 'Goose is now residing peacefully in a barn 6000 miles away, I can't check anything. Sniff....
