Big Bore/engine rebuild questions

[BA BUSA]

(dreamin_of_ridin @ Feb. 02 2007,23:15) There'salot of people with 1397's that are completely streetable/driveable. I think it's just a matter of having the right set-up.

) To your first question, the JE pistons are lighter #1, they also have a lower compression ratio.

While I have not made any changes, I was doing quite a bit of reading late last fall. I was thinking about going into mine before the season.

In the 1363 and 1397 versions, Wiesco had the lower compression ratio.  In the std bore, JE has the lower compression. The difference is about a point in all cases which could allow a drop of 2 octane when trying to find gasoline on the road.

Make sure they get the deck height right regardless.

Brock has a pretty nice set of web cams that comes with his drop in stock bore kit. From comparing some numbers of the other stuff, they look like they would be pretty sweet in a 1363 without giving up much on the bottom. The Exhaust looks a lot like the stock Intake.  I may be trying a set during the year in mine. With a stock bore or a 1363 for the same reasons you list.

My 1397 runs fine on 87 octane

ya know ...chances are the tranny will come down here to R&D .... they are 15 minutes from me.
I'll go talk to Mark and ask what a ball park price to MF the tranny replace 2nd and the mate cog...under cut everything.
I might be able to save you some $$$ ....if nothing else, just cutting out a middle man.
Try to get a figure on what just the tranny work is running you.

The tranny will be 500 that includes undercutting, shot peening and shipping.

(USN05LE @ Feb. 02 2007,22:04) Btw, we should get 180-190 whp and 100-110 wtq on 91 octane fuel.

What compression ratio are you thinking of running
