Joe: Do you know if the 440 cylinders & Heads from a Sportfire or a Intruder will bolt up to a Traifire Crankcase? <_<

Hi!

I know they wont.

Its a different engine family. Trailfire is the Kawi T1 And the Sportfire/Intruder is the Kawi T7.

The foot and porting is very different.

Thanks Magnus, I know that they were different motors but how much different I wasn't sure.

Hey Kenny, (and hi Magnus!)

Magnus is dead on correct. The T-7 Sport/Intruder motor has a wider center distance between the cylinders, and a different base gasket than the "T-1" Trailfire/Drifter type motor.

Sadly, this would have been good info to have about a week ago, as I dismantled a 440 intruder and my 440 trail. I guess I will have to find another way to install dual carbs on my trailfire. A set of dual carb intakes for the 3-bolt kawi cylinders went on ebay for $130 for the pair! Yikes. Anyone need a good running, now partially dismantled 78 440 intruder?

Dont sell the intruder stuff....buy a sportfire case, crank and mountplate.
Bolt the intruder jugs on and voila, a twin carbed trail you have


:D

I did it on my Mod sportfire

Check it out on my link below...

SWEET CAROLINE!!!! I like it. Now the hunt begins for another project I don't need. But if it was items I don't need...I would have stopped long ago before getting to 13 vintage sleds!! :lol:

Much thanks.

What we need is MOD faq page. Listing different ways to mod the sleds. I had no idea about the case, head, etc. you listed to get me a dual carb trailfire!!! Nice work swede. Thanks.

Omaha, NE. I put it back together and it now sits out of the intruder sled I bought for $150. Seems like the simplest thing is to put it back in the intruder, and call it a day.
