Sporfire Engine Needed

[Danzig]

Gotta co-worker here at work needing a running engine for a 82-83 sportfire. Clutch and carbs and electronics not needed just a good engine.

Let me know..

I have a twin carb fan cooled kawasaki motor. It should be a pretty close fit in the sportfire chassis. The oil injection would be the concern, seeing that it is set up like a 80's LF. Its out of an Intruder.

It would be a cool project!

How soon? Mid to late winter I'll be selling my 82 may part it out

This is a co-workers sled, thought he needed a crank, however it needs a cylinder only.

Anyone got a set of useable jugs to get rid of ?

This will be his son's sled, a 12 year old and the boy is anxious.

If you think he is anxious now wait till he is 17.

Being anxious with no snow.....

Maybe a Trailfire engine swap would get it back up and running too...??

I guess it depends on how original he wants it.

Doesnt our buddy near Freeport IL have an engine??

I'm pretty sure Sportfires, and Trailfires share the same cylinders, just the heads are different. At least that is what I remember when I did my Sportfire last summer. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable, on here, can confirm. Anyone? That might make it a little easier finding cylinders.

I doubt that's the case, the two engines are fairly different, but I've never checked.

Paul, I have some 80 Sportfire jugs. I am unsure if they are different or the same as 82-83.

Thanks for the clarification Matt. I knew the cranks and cases were different along with the heads. But for some reason I remember the cylinders having the same stamping numbers. I still haven't learned, not to rely on my memory, I can't even remember what I did yesterday! How is it I could remember stamping numbers from over a year ago.

I have a PTO side 440 cylinder I would like to sell. It is bolt on ready. Needs nothing.

I don't know if this helps you out, there's a bunch of sportfire parts in a lot for sale on eBay. I just glanced at it but it looks like theres a lot of usable engine parts in it. For sure pistons and a crank I don't remember what else was all there.
