What about an emphasis on the 1200cc/40 hp motor.

what would it take to run straight cut cam gears in my 40 hp, is it a simple bolt on procedure or would there have to be alot of modification

where can I find a hi performance muffler for my 40Horse ?

an inexpensive EMPI 3300 will fit. it retails for about $65. you can view it at www.empius.com

we have it in stock

bugpack still makes a header and it is $67 for the header only. it is the typical 4 into one header. we don't have it in stock but we can get it

I bought the Bugpack header a few months back for my 40 horse, the flange is the same position as a 1600 header so it bolts right up to my hideaway muffler. Should be nice and quiet after I get it flanged and coated.

Old thread, thought it would be the best to post in as a search pulled no results.

Rebuilding a factory rebuilt case with late 373 square boss heads and NOS Cima 77mm replacement P&Cs.

My question is...

Do I use the 40hp pushrod tubes or can I run regular 1600 tubes?

If I need the 40hp tubes what is the best source??

cannot use 1600 tubes they are longer than the 40hp tubes. wolfsburg west has them. maybe cip 1. but not alot of places carry them

I've used German and Mexican made 1200 tubes, both seemed about the same in quality. I'm not sure what country the ones you can buy currently are from though. Some links

i just posted a set of 92mm big bore 40 hp pistons and cylinders under performance engine parts if anyone is interested.

I have saved them for years intending to use them but you know

92mm? Never heard of that one before! I've heard of 82mm for the 1200, but not 92. Cool.

actually it's 83 that you have heard of to build the popular 1385 of the mid eighties.
now AA is making them so they are pretty cheap
