can;t see why not, as it is the stroke that you be changing

It will fit, but why you'd want to go slower than a 5 port I dont know. lol

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

how much slower paul?
steve

Depends how fast the 5 port is.
Just my opinion, theres lots of 16vs on here.
I would like to see how a long stroke 16v performs.

I seriously doubt it!

The 5 port is reported to be 106 bhp .
would the pistons need pocketing ?
steve

surely 106bhp from a 1460 5 port is VERY low? 106 bhp from an A-series is really very easy, and doesn't require anything as extreme as a long stroke crank to get to that kinda figure.

Unless it's been built as a lazy low revving hi torgue cruiser kind of engine?

Mr. Prawn, the friendly Crustacean- slowly making steps towards forced induction.

i dont know the full details of the engine yet , hoping to pick up the car tomorrow,
engine was buit by avonbar in about 1995 and covered hardly any miles
steve

Surley a twincam head will flow more fuel/air so produce more power??

Yes the pistons will want pocketing. go for it.

As for horse power ,106 could be quite esasly be right if its got a mild cam and could produce big torque.

Rick

as a yard stick, didnt that sw5 1380 bill sollis built produce around that?

not exactly a high spec motor either by the sounds of it?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

there are few SW5 1380s with 100bhp

are you saying bill sollis lied? lol

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

You will find the operative word in my statement is 'few'!!!!.....

So no, I am not saying Bill Sollis lied
