Howdy all! Is there an easy method (part # maybe) to distiguish between the different cranks used in the pre-1500s? I ran across a gent with a crank that's definitely Triumph 4 cylinder pre-1500 that

The nose of the 1147 and small bearing 1296 cranks are different. Oh oh, I may have this backwards, haven't worked on an 1147 for a bit. On one of them, the 1147, I think, the crank is threaded on th

Oh, and if the crank won't fit your 1500 block, it is obviously not a late 1296 crank. The Mark 4 1296 block is basically the same casting as the 1500, the extra displacement comes from stroking the

So that means that if one were so deviously inclined, he could take a late 1300 block and fit it with all the innards of a 1500 and have a cheater engine. Right? 8^) Joe -- "If you can't excel with

If you're willing to tolerate an engine with something like 20:1 compression... yeah, it's a diesel, that's the ticket! Seriously, I thought someone on the list earlier had said that the 1500 used "

Don't get me started on high compression in Spit Engines again. I still have the head that provided the 265 psi compression that caused me to break a piston early in the life of Huxley. Interested i

Block, Con rods and bearings big ends little ends are all the same for the late 1300's and 1500's. Head gasguet oil holes are the same (they may be made of different stuff) It's the didstance between

The 1500's compression of 9:1 is not a result of the head! It is the result of different pistons! I can take a stock head from a 74 1500 or an 80 1500 and the compression will still be 9:1 on the 76

I think James was saying there was a difference between a 1300 and 1500 head, not between different 1500's. Would that mean that the inverse is true, at the same ratio? Would a 1300 head on a 1500 gi

I remember seeing it mentioned (maybe in Grassroots Motorsports) that an early head put on a 1500 will add H.P. There were no details at all. So, does anyone out there know for sure? And will you gi

Who could afford to put a BMW M3 engine into a spit? Seriously. I would guess a 4 speed tranny weighs about 80 lbs. the engine I couldn't rightly say but I do know that my brother and I lifted one su

check out http://home1.gte.net/42/engfyi.htm It doesn't have the spit motor, but it does have the weights of a bunch of others. My guess is the cadillac V-16, at 1300 lbs is not a feasable swap ;-)
