What would be typical costs of getting a 1275 bored out to 1330 or 1380?

Does anyone have any advice on what pistons to use, omega or other, forged or cast.
The engine will be used in a road car as a weekend driver.

Are there any other things I should think off and ask about when getting this done?

Hi Richie,
I have 1275 engines in stock off set bored to 73.5 which is 1380cc these blocks are bored acid cleaned and fitted with new core plugs they. Work out at 185 euros exchange.

I carry MS Evo pistons and Omega
my number is 086 816 0774
if you need more advice I can help you out
regards
Paul.

hey paul how much to buy straight out or wit a 998 short block??

Paul,

Can you clarify the exchange deal? Is it a straight block for block exchange (plus 185 Euros) or do you want the whole engine?

Also is VAT included in the 185?

Billy

Kenneth: Out right buy is is 310 euros inc vat I can't take a 998 block as exchange for a 1275.

Billy: It a straight swap a good condition 1275 block with caps bare +185 euros inc vat will net you a 1275 block off set bored to 1380 as abouve.

Could be interested in this for an upcoming project Paul.

If I supply an A-series, do I get an A or an A+ in exchange?

Billy

Thats great Billy,

All the blocks in stock are A+ but if you want your A block machined I can do it for the abouve price with a 2 week lead time.
Regards,
Paul.

What would a set of Omega pistons cost to suit this 73.5mm bored block? Do you supply the offset ground cranks to get 1430cc? Again, what cost is involved? What cam would you recommend for fast road use that will give good torque characteristics.. Kent, Piper or Swiftune SW5?
