For those interested in the engine specs. I delivered the engine to Cavanaugh Racing Heads today, I have engine specs now.
1428 CC, Web Cams 125 460 lift intake, 122 430 Exhaust, Valves are 37.5 Intake, 31 Exhaust, 12.5:1 Compression. I was told the carbs are 33mm smooth bores, is anyone interested in buying them, I was advised on bigger carbs.

Not to pry but have you talked to Larry about the head? The MTC or Ward heads are for the serious stuff!!!! Ain't gonna be no street bike and you gonna be investing a ton of money to support the power they can make. You're talking auto trans, big tire stuff here you know.

My engine is a 1428, I am looking for the head because my head has heli coil in 4 of the bolt holes on one cam. I'm looking for the head stock and let Larry do what ever he needs to do for the performance. I just figured the after market head would have more meat so the head wouldn't strip again. If anyone has a stock head for a KZ1000 with no emission holes I'm interested in that as well.

Are the helicoils installed incorrectly? They're supposed to be stronger than the stock threads if done right.

+1.
It evidently was strong enough for the previous owner to flog it at the track. If in doubt, I'd have LC take a look at in and also evaluate the porting job.

LC has the head and he was the one who told me I should get another head. He did inspect them, they were installed correctly. The only thing he said about the porting was he wouldn't have ported the valve stem so much. The previous owner of the bike didn't go to the track, he would street race for money. I was thinking of putting studs for the cam caps to repair the head.

I would be inclined to take Larry's advice. He knows a ton about these engines.

a couple updates, I have a new stock head on its way to Larry to work his magic. I have dropped parts off at Powder-Pro to be powder coated.

I am surprised that the frame has not been braced. With the potential of that engine plus the extended swingarm, I would be concerned about some unpleasant behavior under hard acceleration.
