K100C engine swap...

Honestly. I think your gonna have to go in blind. I really don't think your gonna find anyone who has done a swap like that. That's kinda rare bird. Your going to have to figure it out as you go.

If it was me and I know you don't want to hear it, but I'd just put a good water jacketed 425 b model in that thing and roll. Don't even need to worry about an air to air. Your biggest issue is going to fit that cooler in the front and I'm willing to bet there's just not enough room. Probley why KW designed the k100e in the first place.

 

Go for it. Do lots of research and expect many unforeseen "problems". There is a wire harness manufacturer in AZ (I think). I believe the name is Mauk something. Google it and you should find it. One item of importance to consider is how well a cabover size radiator is going to cool. You are limited in space there also in addition to adding the air to air. With enough money any thing is possible. Keep all of us posted. By the way I have seen v-8 Cats in KW cabovers.

Figure out what all the connections go to from the firewall lug and wire accordingly. Maybe I'm missing something, but the wiring seems to be the easy part.

Have you checked Ebay for an adapter? There are adapters for everything these days. Mostly for gasser vehicles. You can drop any engine into any chassis any simply plug it in.

 

lol. Ya check E bay for an adapter. Because there's going to be such high demand for such a thing

firewall??? It's a cabover.
I can guarantee you , no ones ever done this kind of swap , he's going to have to just wing it.

And yes, the wiring will be the easy part.

 

Okay then, Sounds like you got it all figured out. Good luck with it.
Oh and good luck on your e bay hunt for your k100c/1693 to electronic cat firewall adapter!! Lmao. !

 

His 76 isn't completed yet either.

Only one K100C so far that I have seen a completed setup in, and it isn't a narrow grill either.
