Neat Find...Wiseco 70th Anniversary was created by Discoquik
While searching for Wiseco memorabilia around the plant for our 70th Anniversary and the upcoming Indy Show, we came across some NOS Wiseco "Big Blocks". These were hiding in the apparel cage unbeknownst to anyone here. Deep below some old T-shirts and Sweatshirts, there were two KZ blocks and one GS block, new in the boxes, unopened.

Pretty cool to find these buried away back there. The newpaper packing is from 2004, and parts were discontinued after the supplier closed up shop and wouldn't sell the dies.

So, are you trolling for dim-witted Kawasaki morons who would 2nd mortgage their houses (like me) or are you bragging? :laugh:

No not bragging. These are actually spoken for, but if there was enough interest it may be a possibility of being reissued with any necessary improvements. With the resurgence in the popularity of these bikes and the Kaw faithful racers, one would think there is still a need for these, as well as the kits. :whistle:

Make them again please. I remember seeing (and drooling over) these back in the day when I was a bike mechanic in the 80's and early 90's. Now I could actually afford a kit.:P

What improvements might be implemented? Cooling Maybe?

Was Sertco doing those blocks ? Whoever it was ,they made a lot of blocks for a variety of shops & just changed the name on the ends. Haven't had to buy a block lately,touch wood, didn't realize they were in short supply.
