bezaboy Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 What bits are needed to convert a standard engine into a short stroke ? Anybody have contact details for Mick Dickinson, makes heads and barrels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yup, you need the barrel, a 350 crank, an 86/7mm piston and shorter pushrods. I've bought a new, old stock XT500 piston to build mine with, but others use an XT350 piston. You may need a compression plate under the barrel too. Not built mine yet, its going on the back burner for a while because I'm also building a series 2 Land Rover that I need more than the HT5... I have Mick's phone number at work, which I will pm to you, not at at work tomorrow so it will be on tues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
