pro-stock aspirations/project big bang!!!

[rafstopcarryon]

hi,big green bus.......... a 2v (stock head) like this although very highly modified, is for pro stock bike purposes.......obsolete,with about 220-230bhp,that'll be good, i would imagine for 8:0's?(all motor) the 4v'ers have suffered the same as the early 2v and have hit their limit,so everyone moved back to the 2v combo allbe-it with the ward/vortex top-end 50mm titanium valves,700 plus lift cams,special buckets,50mm lectrons(modified) 89mm pistons(modified).......the list goes on(well as far as yeh wallet will allow)

but a motor like this,as long as it stays together,will get me going again,practice makes perfect and all that

[Pigford]

So what sort of BHP you hoping for

[rafstopcarryon]

i'll tell yeh when it's been on a dyno......
but there's a limit,(that's down to the head) as to the bhp achievable from the kawasaki setup(240+? maybe that optomistic),thats why schultz jumped ship back in the day,pete briggs reckoned on about 300bhp@1500cc from his kawasaki with the vortex head,and that was the next limiting factor between suz/kaw was the 85mm(1500cc) limit of the kawasaki cases........but now

when i say 240bhp plus,that'll be with every modification done to the head you can think ov..............................and more,8 plug conversion with surface discharge plugs,titanium valves,cams moved within head(allowing bigger valves ) welded in bridges to strengthen,welded and epoxied straight ports,one off cams,magnesium rocker cover

[Pigford]

Kin 'ell Raf............

As you say mate........ "How fast can you afford"

This is a really great thread..... to see the other extreme of the Zed world.

Keep up the good work..... and as already mentioned.... Let us know when you're gonna be running

[Pigford]

You may have to re-think one day...............

[big green bus]

i have a set of web cams 465 lift i got with this motor how much should i put them on ebay for. the head and cam box has been ground away to stop them touching so they must be quite pointy. they are mint. any ideas how much, debben says no good for the road

[Pigford]

If they are mint..... eBay should start up at a ton....

[rafstopcarryon]

i only have short legs...so this is more up my street [/img]

[rafstopcarryon]

this is up on dragbike.com for sale at the moment


1463cc, ward modded unitrack 8 plug head,tit valves,18:1 compresion,lumpy cams.....240bhp (ran 7.70,normally aspirated)

another cylinder head,gives you the idea of the sort of valves needed for this application

[london calling]

Big Green Brad Pitt,you want to see the feature in Streetfighters about the Dave Beck pro-stock GSX converted to 2V with those HUGE cams that Raf mentioned and the special buckets

[london calling]

Raf,turn the tape over and fast forward

[rafstopcarryon]
