shaddow edge used to have an ET pulsar turbo and SU carb on manifolds that he would just bolt onto stock wrecker 3K motors and drive until they blew up, then do it all over again. the things would run all day on 6psi, 8psi reduced longevity, and they'd go bang at 10psi
don't use repco pistons, they crack. most 4Ks had contract repcos, look up the skirts for the repco logo. you can usually get japanese factory pistons out of 3K motors, these are known to last longer but are still 30-odd years old. acl and federal mogul make factory replacement cast pistons. i've heard of someone pulling apart a 4K which had motorbike forgies in it, you'd have to go thru a bike piston catalog to find a piston with the correct pin height, pin diameter and a useable bore. all of which are available in the acl catalog for reference, downloadable in pdf from their website. if you find an applicable bike forgie, let us know!
