400f barrels on a 350f
« on: September 13, 2006, 10:16:03 AM »
Oldbiker is selling a big bore barrel set for a 400f that I'm interested in. Will 400 cylinders fit into a 350f case without machining??

 Yes you can fit the 400F barrels to the 350F, you only need to enlarge the crankcases a small amount, you could even do it with a dremel, It's not a big job.  remember you will also have to use the 400F cyl head as the 350F is slightly different.

Now I'm curious: is it yes, maybe or no?
