    There are 2 efe's in the other thread with the pic's that are killers.
    The white one belongs to Kevie Williamson & is 1500 odd cc's.
    The one below it with the multi coloured stripe is Ian Boswoods old bike.
    It was only 1400 from memory but went like a cut cat in Mod bike.
    Just heard last week that Ian is coming back to race a 1600cc efe in Comp bike & should be at the pointy end of the field.
    Not bad for a bloke that is well in to his 60's.[:0][:0]

    Graft in a busa : ) (only joking, they're a lot 'taller', wont fit.)
    Alternatively, you can get up to about 220 Hp fairly reliably, naturally aspirated.
    30 mm inlet valves, with a few cubes. 1428 easy-peasy. 1500 + cc doesn't leave much of the cases left.
    Boosted, the skies the limit, but they tend to fly apart after about 280 Hp.

    1170 kit, flatslides,750 slabbie cams and a barnett clutch will give major bang for your buck

    Livewire and Whale's versions will both work well.

    It's oldskoolsuzuki.info, and the site is currently down again, not sure when it will be back up and running there have been issues with the server aparently, but it's the second time it's been down this year. You will find a wealth of information on there regarding the tuning of the big old aircooled dynosaurs, You can get some good reliable power out of these motors if they're put together well to start with. You can fit oilcooled sleeves into the aircooled blocks, and Busa pistons, amongst other modifications.

    Yep, took a couple of Aussies called Ken and Joe to work that out,

    We like our big-bore engines but don't like spending too many bucks.
