Hello
Does anyone know of a dealer/engineer in the West Yorkshire area that will convert a GP200 cylinder and head for a small block casing? Oiltech only convert casings. If anyone fancies the job or knows anyone please let me know.
Cheers
Chris

I think you are talking about turning down the spigot, and opening up one of the stud holes ?

It would probably cost you as much as sorting a small block to suit the cylinder.

That sounds like the hard way to do it.
Why not just long stroke a 65mm bore?
a 60mm stroke crank will give you 199cc on a 65mm bore with no case or cylinder mods.

Turning down the spiggot and drilling the stud holes to 13/14 mm allows the 200 cylinder to be fitted onto a small block casing. It's straightforward, if anyone knows who can do it let me know.

The bottom end is already built with the original 1970 crank.
