Converting a standard 200 barrel to small block

I have a standard Indian 200 barrel and was wondering if I could modify it to fit a small block casing. Is it just a case of opening up the stud holes to 14ml and turning down the spigot? Seems very simple, or is there more too it? What should I do with the head?


Thanks for any advice

Chris

Nice bike, nice reg number and great colour. Looks orbit orange like GP 150's.

Re: 1970 GP150 turquoise or orbit orange?

CPH, the forks have been and sand blasted at some point so all the original paints gone, interesting tip though so thanks. Mr G that's what mine did (I think) and will look like, although with the Brit market chequered flag and 150 GP badge.

Re: li125 beige

Hi Hendy

In the Lambretta Global Paint Codes website it lists two beige codes, 8029 for LD's etc. and 8036 but states model not known, could be this maybe? My personal favourite is the pale duck egg of Li125's, looks really 60's

Re: 1970 GP150 turquoise or orbit orange?

Interesting pic Lambro, maybe mine was two tone, but I do think it would have said 'blue and white' on the logbook though. I saw a logbook for an original British turquoise GP125 on e bay that said 'green' and if ochre ones where called 'brown' it must have been down to the dealer. I'll stick with t...

Re: 1970 GP150 turquoise or orbit orange?

Thanks Dave, I'm going for turquoise even though I really like the orange. The original 1970 log book says 'blue' but the first V5 in 1986 says turquoise. I assume the 'blue' meant turquoise or where there any blue GP's?
