For Sale Pair of r/h West Bend 5-port 580s

Post by Dean Seavers » Tue Dec 22, 2009 8:11 pm

I've decided to go a different direction with one of my kart projects, so that leaves me with a pair of 5-port 580s for sale. I have all the parts to rebuild, just need to have the blocks bored. I have 2 hyper rare NOS Wiesco + .020 over high compression thin ring pistons with rings, wrist pins and circlips, as well as 2 NOS Palmini megaphone exhausts, uncut. Both blocks are clean- one block has had exhaust ports squared, but not raised or lowered, the other block completely stock. New gaskets, seals and bearings. Cranks, rods, flywheels and stators in good shape. One shroud chrome, the other painted, plus both recoil starters, although one needs a new handle. Original tillotsons included on the West Bend V-reed manifolds. Will throw in a couple of carb diaphragm kits. Do the bore job, repaint the shrouds and reassemble. When finished, these will be the ultimate 580s.

I'd like $500 each or $950 for the pair. The pistons and exhausts alone cost me half of that. If you are interested, contact me at voxnut@hotmail.com and I can send pics.
