I need a virago 750/1100 or tr1 engine, preferably cheep, and cylinder damage, missing starters, knackered gear boxes, missing bits is not a problem.....

It will definatly need a good to perfect crank, the crank cases, the barrels (condition immaterial) and the heads,,,,,pistons and advantage but not desperatly needed, i certainly do not need any carbs (petrol? Yich), or any electronics

Im going to sleve it down to around 400cc, (750/1000/1100 cc crank, 400cc displacment) sleve it to fit some lister diesel twin cylinder pistons i have here, or other pistons depending on whats available depending on bore and stroke, like a 1000cc diesel engine, 2 pistons from this engine depending on bore and stroke should be around 400 to 450 cc, but ill cross that bridge when i have an engine to play with, im going to have the plug holes modifed to accept the peugeot hdi injectors i have, and i'm going to make a nice little v twin diesel chop

I cant offer much cash, around £50 at the most, but i would be happy to offer ink to a better tune, around £200 worth for a dead lump, or up to a grand for a bike i can rip to bits

answer here or drop me an email
