Looking for top end...
Looking for cylinders and heads for my 83 Sportfire or maybe even a complete motor to drop in. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Looking for top end...
What do they look like? I was given about 5 5 gallon buckets of parts. Was told that there are Sportfire parts in there. Just don't know what they look like. I have jugs, heads , a lower end, pistons, carbs etc........Any numbers stamped on them?

Re: Looking for top end...
They weren't with the sled 
, the only thing that was in there was the bottom end 
. Haven't really checked it out that close, will probably do that this weekend.

Re: Looking for top end...
Chuck,
The Sportfire uses the same base gasket as a Liquifire. The jugs are also larger in size than Trailfire units as they are on a wider cylinder center distance. The Trailfire jugs would be smaller, the base gasket would also be smaller, and they only have 4 bolt holes on the heads, where I think Sportfire heads have 8 bolts like a Liquifire, "I think".
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Re: Looking for top end...
I did receive a 3 place trailer full of Sportfire, Trailfire and Liquifire stuff. Guy was in the process of cutting up to take to scrap. Bought the whole thing for, i think $100...Just didn't want to see it go to waste. If I take a picture of some of this stuff maybe somebody can help identify it. Maybe its something somebody needs. Also came with about 5 5 gallon buckets of carbs, jugs, heads. Even a bunch of NOS pistons. Guy worked for a dealership and when they closed, he grabbed this stuff. He also had a 84 Liquifire in pretty nice shape. I,m keeping that for now.
