1300/1400 power

Smaller chamber size, but the valves are the same size, so it gives higher cr

D7ake what has been done to your head and bottom end?

Stuart is the 1600 head a straight fit on to a 1300/1400 block? And what pistons and rods are used? Sorry for the questions

I really want to build a 1400 engine nova at some point for back road blasts, that's why I love threads like this so don't fell sorry for asking questions.mate I'm sure Stuart and others with similar knowledge won't mind sharing it.with.you one little bit after all this is a club

[basilmk1]

So I would use the 1600 distributor and cam aswell? Which out the 1300 or 1400 would be a better bottom end to use? Cheers

[Stuart]

you want to be using the 1400 dizzy/coil/module setup regardless of the bottom end and head etc mix.

Bill Blydenstein Magic

My Sport is 102HP 1.3 with a worked head, piper 285 cam, forties..............I feel robbed

and is no quicker down the strip, with the piper 285 cam over the std SR cam (which was 92HP), as there is no grip at York

Would like to know what the SR is putting out as I built the engine, currently big valve head, balanced 0.5mm overbore, forties, Holbay 270 cam.

I am hoping to convert her to Irmscher Fuel Injection over the winter (and why it has the Holbay 270 cam)

Will get her set up after that

[philip]

stock bottom end, balanced,ported 14se head, kent double springs and caps, newman sprint cam, solid lifters, twin 40s mate made 113bhp@wheels, very reliable too and goes quite well in his grasser.

as for evo comment...im running about 370/380bhp in my 6...come for a play sometime haha
