Big block

23 Aug 2020 05:29

Its been a long time since I've been on here. Life has happened alot recently. But do have a few questions. who all is running a big block(1500 cc) on the street and is 13.5-1 capable of being turned over by the starter?
This is going to be a street/strip/show bike but want to ride it on occasions .
Thanks

At this point, I'm looking at a GPZ head. The pistons are set up for it. I have one, but done want to invest money if I cant use it. I know its better stock and doesn't need alot of work versus a heavily modified kz head to net the same performance.

Sounds like you may have to modify a car starter for that motor

I have an old build that is an APE big block,1327, 10.25-1, but its kick start only. ( Different crank, and the stock alternator wouldn't match up, so left it off). This old thread may help... kzrider.com/forum/4-electrical/591538-ho...starter-into-gpz1100
