Crossflow Upgrade
I want to upgrade from my knackered 1300 GT Crossflow to a 1600 (or larger) Crossflow. I know some of the 1300 parts are the same as for a 1600,
anyone know what the minimum items I need (block etc). Anyone have these for sale in/near Scotland? Condition not too important as I plan on getting
it all rebuilt once I have the parts.
Thanks,
|

You'll need, as a minimum, block, conrods, pushrods, sump, carb rejet - and that's about it. Your original pistons can be reused -
they'll up the compression ratio nicely. Make sure you've got a GT head for the bigger valves though.

Thanks guys, any idea how much taller the 1600 block is how much deeper the sump? Mike I've dropped you an eMail. re the engines.

1600 engine block is 7/16ths " taller than 1300cc according to the trusty Burton s catalogue, don't think there is much difference in sump
(they appear interchangeable) but that's just off the top of my head
