Will a 1150 block go on a 1100 cases?

 

[Dink]

Yes

But if you are thinking the pistons too, they won't work.

 

[Don Williams]

So that means I can use a 1229 kit and not bore the cases.

 

[rphillips]

I don't understand your question. But if you use the 1150 cylinders, you will need to use pistons designed for a GS 1100, cause the wrist (piston) pins are larger for an 1150 & won't go in the small end of the 1100 connecting rod. ( I think )

 

[Don Williams]

You are right, but a 1229 is the biggest for a stock 1150 sleeves and I was wondering would that still worlk if I put the 1150 cyclinders on my 1100 cases.

Yes, you can use 1150 jugs on a 1100 BUT you must clearance the 1100 upper case. The 1150 sleaves that extend past the finning into the cases are too big around to just slide down into the case. It's not much but you will have to remove some metal.
