K Series into Striker parts wanted
lsdweb - 1/1/15 at 01:47 PM

Hi All

It looks like I'm going to be dropping a K series into a Striker so I'll be looking for the following parts -

Bell housing
Flywheel
Exhaust manifold
Engine mounts
Anything else you guys can think of!

I'm not on Blatchat but if somebody could either have a look on there for me or post on there on my behalf I would be most grateful!

Many thanks

Wyn

It currently has a Type 9 but I'm open to suggestions!

There's a cracking striker complete in for sale section! If selling up and buying is an option


lsdweb - 1/1/15 at 02:13 PM

Thanks Daniel. I had seen that but it's out of my budget! And I'm building a 1400 :-)

You will like the 1400! They love to be revved. Almost as much as the 1600. If anything you'll want more power very soon after the install unless performance isn't an issue. 1600 is a decent step up in performance

Mine should rev to 9500 :-)

I have a spare bellhousing - also manifold, possibly flywheel - can check and photograph tomorrow.

I have a complete 1600 engine and box free to a good home. just collect it.

Thanks guys. I've now found the bits I need courtesy of a LCBer. Engine is courtesy of Dave Andrews :-)

Dva 1400 will be spot on!

He's never built one like this before!

Short stroke - 1350cc (ish).
82.5 mm block / liners that normally make 1900cc.
VVC head (VVC blanked off) polished and ported.
1444 cams
Jenvey DTH throttle bodies
Emerald ECU
Custom forged pistons

We're hoping it will go well!

Wyn, that sounds like a great little engine. I will love to have mine built up to similar spec. Can you let me know what its like when its up and running


lsdweb - 1/1/15 at 09:54 PM

Will do Femi - I'll let you know how much it cost too!


TimC - 1/1/15 at 10:12 PM

Any chance of one of your infamous abandoned blogs to cover the build?


lsdweb - 1/1/15 at 10:20 PM

No wonder you got kicked out of Wales! :-)


daniel mason - 1/1/15 at 10:25 PM

One thing for sure. The dva motor will cost! But they are good

Cheers. Not sure I look forward to the cost. But I think it will make a lovely engine in the sprite.


lsdweb - 1/1/15 at 10:29 PM

Apart from the custom pistons, crank and rods it's a pretty standard DVA engine :-)


daniel mason - 1/1/15 at 10:53 PM

It's the jenveys and emerald which cost! It'll all be worth it when it's screaming along
