301 cc predator

[2fast4you]

are they worth it and do they have as many aftermarket mods as the 212cc? thanks in advance

 

[2fast4you]

Oh and do they have the hemi model if so whats the number?

Slightly enlarged version of the GX270, a little big block of sorts. Weight and power seem between 212 and 420, as it should be. Parts will cost more than the 212 and 219lb more engine can make handling change a bit, even if a good chunk of the weight is an electric start setup.

This isn't really a good choice for a motor in my opinion. There isn't enough parts support. My buddy bought one and has had trouble locating a replacement connecting rod. He purchased the gx270 ARC billet rod (stock length) and it had a smaller size wristpin so wouldn't work. Now the engine is a paper weight until a replacement rod is available.

Is there enough meat to open the rod from 18 to 20mm?

yeah, there just might be... are you thinking rod bearings?

I was thinking, if wrist pin size is all that's stopping the swap, reaming the billet rod to accept the 301 pin, would allow the high-rev mods.
