219HP?

Dyno Jet Dyno?

Valve Sizes?

What was the peak HP RPM?

Carb Size?

A 1428 motor wants about 113CFM@10" to produce a potential 218 @8500. That's a trapped Ve of 125. Pretty stout ;) To get that takes an intake valve that requires over size seats. Not much sense in putting that kind of money in an old 900 head but hey...that's JMO. :)

You may be correct but somehow I doubt an old unfaired Z is going to pull 219 MPH. If it does, I'm sure as hell impressed. Come to think of it if it makes 219 HP I'm impressed. Well done either way ;)

Anyone running a 1428 on the street ? Also I see over at the kz zone they list a 1425 kit for use with the kz engine and the kz head then they list a 1428 kit for the kz engine with the J model head. What's the difference in the kz head and the J model head and which head is better ?

The difference is in the piston pin locations. Putting a J head on a KZ bottom end will reduce compression ratio. Therefore that has to be addressed.

J and GPz bathtub heads require less work to make power than a KZ head requires on a large cc motor.

I know an old piece of crap drag bike that will probably spew it's crankshaft all over the track sometime soon that runs 5.70's 1/8 mile steadily with less than .460 lift cams, small tire & bar, anciennt 38 trons, 1327cc, J head with 39/32 combo. The bike is old. The guy has no money....

Excessive heat and/or lack of lubrication are your motor's greatest enemies. Keep that in mind when you build you radical, streetable engine :)

So is it better to invest the money in the KZ head because I already own one or get a J head and throw money at it What's the best bang for your buck. How about compression ratio, I don't see many talking about that. Ultra 94 Sunoco gas is about the best pump gas around. Where compression ratio do you start running into detonation issue with the KZ ? How about getting them started ?? Stock starter hold up to a 1327 or a 1428 ?

my stock starter would barely handle my 1327. It actually made my sprag unit go out. With a j model head you will lose right around 2 points of compression. If it was me i would get a j model head. But you do have to buy a idler adapter and the jig to locate the holes properly.
