140-150HP on twin 1 1/2" SU's....probabaly not. SU selection chart:

 

Maybe you'll just have to upgrade to 1 3/4" or 2" SU's when you want to push the output that bit further. Mmm, 2x 2" SU's sounds good.

Hmm! 13/4 su's. :)

That chart is a bit of a worry,but I do know

of a couple of triumph 1800's that dyno just

over 140hp and they have the same carbs

A few picture updates

 

The instrument panel installed

 

indicator and hi beam

 

The block is going to be RED

 

the honed block and cleaned piston

Hi.

 

Different pistons to the ones in my 7k. Mine have a "D" shaped dish like 5k pistons. Are these standard?

How did you convert to solid lifters? I left the hydraulic ones in my 7k and used solids in the 5k. I converted them by pressing a hardened steel push rod seat into the bottom of a gutted 5k lifter.

 

Paul

Yeah they are the stock pistons. Came up realy clean.

We used chevy solids they were the right size.

The lifters seem to be common size in Kmotors

as these are the same size for 4 and 5k.

Just a bit of an update

The extractor paint seems to be holding.

My greasey thumb print is stuck for good

That was VHT 1200 deg paint.

The engine bay also appears to be holding on.

Thats pretty amazing.

 

Now for the 7K

The head went on yesterday

The rockers are still to be fitted

It all slowed right down over christmas

The engineer doing the heads went on extended holidays

I gave the mercedes to the mechanic to sort out.(That was expensive)

and to basically cut cost's letting them just do bits in between

other jobs it cut down the billing hours

 

So next weekend is looking possible for the installation.

(Soon anyway)Will list all specs when up and running

Sounds awesome mate.

Great news . I pick up the 7Kon friday.

Craig and I will put it in saturday.(if I remember how I plumbed it) :D

Should have some idea of how it goes by sunday.

crazy crazy crazy! looking forward to seeing hte beast!

I'm pushing Craig hard to make sure he is on

the cruise to show it off.
