Hey
Looking for a V6 engine.
As complete as possible.
Want to run on a stand so i can teach my 2nd year padawan engine theory.
Based in Toowoomba.
Tried EBay they start at $500.
You see the old commy's everywhere except when you want one.
If anyone knows where i could get one in the SE Queensland area let me know.

Just the thing to mow picket fences.
I'm looking to Delco the Kawasaki.
Long story kept short, I have an old z650 that is taking impossibly long to re-build (I think we're at the 12yrs mark, kids time,etc)
At one point it contained a Turbocharged 750 engine. (GPz750turbo) very awesome and went like a zyrtec. But rat style wasn't in fashion then. So rebuild.
Finally there is some progress happening, I painted the frame yesterday and some missing parts have arrived. yay.
Now the good bit- these turbo kwaka engines are EFI.. But its an ancient unit, and while it does still work- it may be on borrowed time.
For the good of the world why not put a delco on the sucker, and maybe sell a kit on ebay. A shortened '808 harness and a 2bar sensor.
The trigger plate is obviously one of the few hurdles to cross.

That is mad cool.
I can see how you've run a camira module for the ignition off the original pickup.
Without a distributor how do I run two dual coils like most jap 4 cylinder bike engines from a delco?
Will search.
