Title: A7 500 to 650cc
Post by: Jean-Luc on 21 Aug, 2024, 10:32
is it possible to convert a 1953 A7  to 650cc ?
If so , is it "easy" ? and what are the parts to be found ?

I wish to keep the original engine cases .

Thanks !

You can keep the cases and timing gear and oil pump. You will need a new crankshaft barrels pistons con rods head and push rods. As the barrels are one fin taller you may need new exhaust pipes.
