WR 1950cc Basic Stroker Kit - Drop in kit, no machining necessary!
Incredible low and mid range torque improvement over a standard 1720cc big bore 356 or 912 engine!
The newest engine kit in the WR line up. Uses our super strong 4130 chromoly WR 84mm Billet Crankshaft combined WR Carrillo Rods and special drop in WR Alloy/NSC (Nikasil)Cylinders with forged CP coated pistons. The camshaft is now our WR68 which has a little more duration for a stronger mid range and the same incredible low range torque and throttle response.
No clearancing or machining is necessary and the crank, rods and PCs can be combined with your stock 356 or 912 heads for a simple and easy increase in usable power.
Stock Zenith or Solex carbs can be used, or upgrade to our new WR Weber 40IDF kit with 32mm venturis and correct jetting.
This kit adds our specially ported WR 1950cc Cylinder Heads to the Basic Kit.

The task was an overhaul and power increase on a completely original 65C which had to retain the Zenith carburetors, engine appearance and idle. John recommended a 1950 kit with the special heads. I assembled the engine myself, which was straight forward. I'm on the second day of real road testing and have 100 miles on the car. In short, John nailed it. It's seamless, smooth, tractable, well mannered, looks and idles like a 356 but delivers big, usable torque on demand. It stays in the character of a 356 but really improves the driving experience. The ultimate sleeper!
