I know of a few peops building the likes of this engine. or alternatives using a 1.4 crank-rods-and piston set up in a 1.3 s or sb block to give an oversized CC. Early 1.2s with Carbs had the biggest piston diameter in any of the GM small block range. In saying that the 1.2sb incorperated a large piston with a short stroke. Match the piston from a 1.2 sb with the stroke of a 1.3 and you end up with a stroked, overbored 1.3... I intend to build a tuned 1.3 sb, but currently run a blue printed C14SE on carbs in my rally car.

Standard 12ST pistons in a 13SB bottom end takes it to just short of 1400cc, it gives a few extra cc than a 14NV/14SE(1389cc) etc which is advantageous for the upto 1400cc class in rallying.

Any progress???

no mate, too busy with the rally car.

just spent 2 grand on 180bhp 1400 engine for it, then i had to buy better driveshafts that came to £900!!!

No spare time or money for sport just now, but dont worry..i am keeping a hold if it and will crack on in a few months time.

Sounds like it has a decent spec :p,
any pics of the rally car mate?

180bhp, sorry to sound doubtful but thats a big power figure for a 1400(I assume an 8v).
Whats the spec on it?

From an 8v it's very doubtful but there are loads of 16v 1400's making more then 180bhp.

its a suzuki engine in his rally car, last time i saw it anyway. 16v
