JUSTWANNARACE Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) it IS a cheetah cyl but not a cub.. just a standard cheetah Edited June 6, 2012 by JUSTWANNARACE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmo421cub Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wats da difference? With the right setup how many hp can u get from dis setup? The buyer seller claims that's it a 421 and u will need a 4 mill crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 It's probably just a 4mm Cheetah. You will need to verify that it is indeed a 4mm cylinder before you buy a crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeboie Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I have a 421 cheetah as well. Those plates in the front are block offs for the power valves. If its a 4mil like mine, it shud put out about 90hp depending on setup. With these it's better to get custom domes cut by a site sponsor bc the ones from trinity are junk so have them checked out. Also check to see if it has been ported or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmo421cub Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 The guy I brought it from said that some guy name doug from d&m racing did the porting. But I have my motor getting shipped to to jim at passion racing to check things out on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree. I think I heard somebody say something like this before................now if I could only find that post.............I'm sure Harry will come on and offer some sage advise. Long story short - Get new custom cut domes for that combo. I'd LOVE to see what it dyno's at when Jim get's done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2otoofast4u Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 You need to send the entire mess to a builder and have them tell you what you actually have and what your options are. Id HIGHLY recommend Redline or White Knuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have my motor getting shipped to to jim at passion racing to check things out on it Doug at D&M knows his chit, but obviously buying anything used is a gamble. Doug is easily reached and is here in the Phoenix area and is also who built my bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 they will tell you to buy a cub.. mostly because the older ones are overported and jacked up. they dont have the pv's inthem so they dont work right and as stated they dont have the correct dome shape in them. now to enlighten people. when th e"cub" first came out it had similar issues. some were being overported and wouldnt run worht a shit. and others were haveing way to tight of a squish clearance recomended and a n incorrect squish widht put in and were blowing the heads off or destroying pistons. those issues came about the development of a better more suited dome shape/ desing that would hold up. and that development if back'd on the cheetah casting along with a full understanding of how the pv works can result in a supperior motor to a cub.. this is just my opinion and the cub is still a great motor to build.. so dont misquote me there ok. most those cyls were 400 cheetahs if its a 68mm bore seen a lot of "4 mill cub/cheetahs" coming up for sale,, then they end up being 400's most have the stroke and bore cast or stamped in them in the intake area.
