TC440D means it’s an 81-82 440 LTD motor.  I’m confused by the “0000001”, the model identification section says the 82 serial numbers start at 17...  http://kawasakitrax.com/82models.htm

This is serial # on a prototype 530 Interceptor motor.   No pat sticker or any numbers or letters other than the Xserial #.   Ribs on cyls and Head are completely different than stock/factory run set of heads and cyls.  Everything was marked 530 tho.

Welcome to the site!!  It is not real uncommon to see 550 jugs on a 440 mono head bottom.  Serial number 1 needs some further study.

Is this motor in a sled?  If so, what are the numbers stamped on the right foot area of the tunnel?

Take a picture of the primary clutch and complete sled .  Definitely a invader chassis cause of tool box and heat shield apparently is metal and homemade cause looks like it’s all rusty. Definitely 550 head in the picture.

The bottom end may be the 1st one. :) :D  The TC440D covered 81 and 82 LTD motors.The TC530D for the 550 is pretty much the same bottom.  I have seen one other 550 stuffed into an Invader chassis and from what I heard it was plenty of farting around to get it to work.  It would be a great "sleeper" sled.

Pretty cool to see things like that built awhile back.  By the dash if it’s correct for the sled it looks like it’s a 79 or 78 chassis.  One thing I noticed is looks like it has coolant hoses coming out over by the exhaust pipes? Did they install something under the tunnel running board to cool it?

yes there is a heat exchanger on the right side 
Title: Re: motors
Post by: 72SSRS on December 30, 2020, 07:38:55 PM
Hmmm.  No heat exchanger under the seat or at least was a hole where there was one from the factory originally?

Post by: mgd316 on December 31, 2020, 09:13:07 AM

Post by: mgd316 on December 31, 2020, 02:34:40 PM

Post by: 72SSRS on December 31, 2020, 05:17:35 PM
The heat exchanger under the seat.  Is it a long narrow one or pretty much a square one town the back of the tunnel?
Title: Re: motors
Post by: mgd316 on December 31, 2020, 05:42:49 PM
