Spare engine mods

[Billyboy]

Hey guys.
I have a spare engine for my GS1000. It's in the parts bike. It's all complete.

I was pondering the idea of making it snort. If you had the time and a small budget, what you you do to it to bring out its best?

I'm thinking of getting it putting out the most it can, and then swapping out the stock motor and dropping in the sleeper.

I'd go for a 14T counter sprocket, free flowing exhaust, some 38 CV carbs with 150 jets and no air filters, adjustable cam sprockets and set then at 110 degrees with a dial indicater kit. Alittle home porting on the intake's, also removing the valve guide tip that hurts air flow into the cylinder. Then a tie down strap for the frontend then head to the track for some fun

What about pistons?
I'd like to be able to run it on the street too.

Can't do much there since it's streetable, about 10.5-1 is the norm. But if it was track only then some 13.5-1's and alittle race gas would add a few more ponies.

If you could find a big block with pistons that be a hot set up too, but since it's an older 1000 I don't see much out there for it???

What's this I hear about a 1056 wiesco kit?

Only see the 1085 and 1100 kit for sale nowadays.
