    1145 / 1176cc 1000s

    Any interest in doing big 1000s ? Kits would be $900+ with sleeves.

      What are the modifications required to go that big on a 2 valve 1000?

        Remove the stock sleeves, bore the block for new sleeves, bore & hone new sleeves for new pistons, bore upper case half to clear new sleeves. Definitely NOT a bolt on but not a big deal either. GREAT gain in torque & power! Build them JAY!!!! Ray.

                      Total for machine work would be $314.00

                      If we do this, we would offer 1000 cylinder studs again.

                        What sort of hp would you guess a streetable big-bore conversion would return? That would certainly increase the popularity of the 8V motors!

                          Holy crap. I have a spare stock 1000 engine. I guess once my current project is finished, I'll just have to go for this. Count me in sometime around late spring/early summer.

                            I could get 140 at the back wheel with porting, carbs, & the right cams & make it "daily driver" reliable fairly easy. Ray.
