i have just been offered from someone i can trust a gpz900 engine with all the carbs etc
for £350 is this suitable as it is oil cooled
a set set of twin webers and a pinto isnt to far from this or am i missing some thing
all the other engines are costing £1000 plus this is way out of my price range

Hi dave
I've never personally come across a GPZ in a BEC, but i dont see a problem with using one. You may have to be a bit creative with the cooling system i.e fit a bigger oil cooler and duct in some extra air, but essentially everything else is the same as any other bike engine fitted to a car.i've seen FJ1200's used to good effect and they are air/oil cooled. At that price i'd risk it, and besides it's nice to be different. Power wise the GPZ was pretty good so that should'nt be a problem.
Also if the engine is pre 95 you won't have to worry about emmisions at yhe SVA.


Best of luck

Alan
