You can buy the complete motor!!! Why not bore your stock cases to accept the 120 bore(i think it's 4.060) & save money??

When I first started this project the 120r kit was the only thing out. The complete motor came out after..sucks to be me. That said the cases were like $580 don't quot me it's off the top of my head. I went that way so I could build the 120r pull the 103 and still ride while the 120r was being built. As it turns out I'm glad I went this way it took almost 5mo.
I also think the new cases are a little beefier witch gives me a little more piece of mind.
other then the Waite I'm happy so far I'm into this 6500.00 installed. new pipes will up that of course.

The basic 120R isn't running high compression so it should be just fine on pump gas. Don't know about the other stuff but I would say no.

One benefit that I see with the kit version, is that you can pay closer attention to fine details (such as deck hight and chamber volume) during assembly.

Has anybody measured the above items in a crate version? Maybe they are spot-on.

I doubt anyone is tearing down a crate motor, might as well buy the kit at that point.

It won't be long until someone tries to improve on it with some head work or other mods. A true gear head won't ever be satisfied. He he!

It would be reassuring to know your deck hight and such are optimal.

Thanks again,
