Kiwi is proud to introduce the worlds first operationalproprietary Indian engine and transmission powerplant. The first new Indianengine since the factory closed its doors in 1953. We utilized our proprietarycomponents and built it larger than stock to 84 cubic inches (80 and 74-inchversions also available).
We call this the “Kiwi Integrated Engine” which means that all of thecomponents are manufactured by Kiwi. This characteristic guaranteesthe fit and operationalperformance of each and every part.
Since we have been manufacturing all of the internal components for sometime and been test riding the heck out of the stuff, this task was alreadywell proven.
The biggest benefit of taking an integrated approachis that the customer can feel confident of having absolutely thefinest quality engineavailable.
Price for complete engine less oil pump $7499.00 (unassembled $5999.00).Price with transmission and primary to follow. We will also offer the enginein short block form without cam parts. Sub assemblies will also beavailable including complete cylinders with valve covers etc, ready to bolt to an engine.
The central new part of our engine is of course the engine cases.These cases look outwardly identical to stock cases, but have been improvedconsiderably over stock. Cases are1948-53 style and are available now with matched cam cover for anintroductory price of $999.00.
We are not kidding when we say we test ride the heck out of our stuff.We put serious miles on every part we make before we release it for sale,and the new engine is no exception.
Even if the prototype powertrain has been assembled for some months,we wanted to make absolutely sure everything was perfect before releasingit.
Our slogan says “Quality Parts, Built to Ride” and we stand behind that!
Cases come stock to accept 84-inch strokes and are fully CNC machined.
Aluminum is a high end 356-T6. A 65% increase in structural strengthover original cases and that’s before our structural improvements.
Drive housing external boss increased from 2-5/8 to3-1/4-inch.
Drive housing inside boss increased from 2-5/16 to3-1/4-inch.

All housing and bushing bores are line bored and canbe enlarged to accept needle bearings.
Crankcase half sealing surface increased upto 75%.
Dowel pins for accurate case half locating. One ofthe benefits was to eliminate the radial locator groove so as to increasecase half sealing surface area.
Breather location can be changed from cam cover toback side of crankcase for a more visual appealing finish.
Front engine mounting bosses are sculptured for a matchedand finished look
Polished case option is available.Patterns were computer recreated utilizing CMM technology. The foundrywe use is one of the top within the aircraft, automotive, motorcycle andracing communities. The machine shop is a major manufacturer to the otherAmerican motorcycle company so fit and finish is a slam dunk deal. Caseand cam cover sealing surface improvements were consulted by James Gasketsand the other American motorcycle company.
