TomB Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If you fancy stripping out the rods and pistons, I could be tempted in those, but I dont want another block cluttering the garage up.PS - does the Trophy 160 just have stronger pistons, or are the rods stronger too?

rj Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Tempted - but need to find a way to get it "offshore" as I'm in Denmark.(I'm short of a crank, but it doesn't make it harder if it comes with pistons and rods) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The VVC 160 rods are dual-tang for shell location. DVA prefers earlier single-tang rods, but I don't think it's worth going to the effort of swapping earlier rods over to the 160 pistons and bushing the little end for floating fitment. Either will be able to handle just about anything we are likely to chuck at them. Just buy the whole bottom end, Tom. I'm still using a totally standard VVC 160 bottom end. Waiting for it to explode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Id be interested in the pistons only, I dont want any block in the garage as well as the old 1.4! But by the sounds of it in Techtalk, someone needs a new engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irrotational Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi - found the thread - I am definitely interested assuming there are not significant differences between the blocks and pistons. I'll PM you just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
