What is your dream motor?

I would like to rebuild an engine for my 76 900. I will not be racing it but would like it to have plenty guts. I have looked at APE and they have a lot of stuff their, but I would like to hear your input on what would make a great motor: eg. Crank, rods, pistons, head, valve stuff, etc, etc. I do not have unlimited funds, but I can take some time to do this so I can piece it as I go. Any info on what parts to use and what needs to be done to the parts is welcomed.

Other side

1015 kit will wake it up pretty good. It depends on how much power you want it to have. Now that guy, he's insane/less he wants to finance the project for you. Like the polished covers idea, that's aerodynamics, that's cheap power.

Yeah what zippy said.

A 1075 motor with a 410-435 lift cam set
and 33 smooth bores is the best power to
durability setup.

If your on a tight budget, it would be hard to beat an APE 1015 kit. With the machine work and misc, probably about $1200+ kzzone.com/kits.html

My "dream" motor is:
72mm bore custom pistons
73mm stroker billet roller crank for 1230cc
480 460 cams
big "titanium" valve head, maybe like 38.5 x 32
5speed "overiding" transmission
probably about $15000+

Very possible "dream" motor: 72mm/1075 that runs 8s on "motor only" at 575#

My dream motor would be the Vortex 1500
cylinder and head with the 45mm intakes
and 38mm exhausts.Of course you could buy
a new ZX14 for less money than the motor
would cost to build.

uh i think zippy has the dream covered. the sdr1428 kit from ape is good. this is the kit im getting for my 75 Z1 1327cc, big block cylanders,k435 cams and some other goodies. its a good start for $1900. i think it is still streetable. the 1425 kit is cool .520 cams wow! i think its a little hot for the street thou:whistle: just my .02.

I'm with Skyman on this.

Mine is pretty mild compared to you guys... 720 kit, 750 head, valves, cams. My current ignition system, oil cooler, 29mm smooth bores. That's about it, very reliable and a s**t load of fun!!
