alfablack Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Hello folks Can anyone help me with some information I have just acquired an engine for a race project. 1 x what year is it Engine number 702 2 x is good power achievable from this engine Any other bits of information what to or what not to do Would like good tractable power 1 Quote
kja.busa Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 The camcover is efe, not sure about the number though, a couple more photos would be good though. Engine side covers are a good clue too. Quote
arnout Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Frankly I wouldn't bother. Look at it.. The paint is coming off and the wiring is a mess, how would it ever run again? Tell you what, I'll be willing to take it off your hands so you'd have space again to place and prepare a nice smooth running watercooled engine instead. No messing around with pistons, cams, clutches etc to make it faster and more reliable, but just nice and clean plug&play and power via chip tuning. 3 Quote
Blubber Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Side shots will help. First impression is that it is a gsx1100ef engine, the 1135cc version from around 1985. That is just based on the cam cover. And the front engine plates The head can still be swapped to a "normal" 1100 Quote
Dezza Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Cam cover no doubt EFE as stated above. A pic of the full engine number will help too, including the letters. The efe also has a distinctive ignition cover. If it's a complete bona fide EFE engine, well done, you've won the OSS engine lottery Quote

Oh yes not as tidy as I wanted but it's nice to know someone is prepared to do me a favour and take it of my hands I was thinking if it was any good injection would be a good way to go if allowed Quote
alfablack Posted October 9, 2018 Author Posted October 9, 2018 Engine number reads V702 - 103520 Quote
Dezza Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Looks like an EFE engine to me And yes, it has the potential for mega power. Quote
Blubber Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Agreed, 1135cc GSX1100EF, EFG, or EFE. Sometimes even known as a GS1150 (e) Quote
