7AG Enthusiast/Pro Conversion Kit – 16V / 20V

-All essential parts for a reliable 7A conversion

-16V and 20V options

-Proper timing with broached sprocket

We offer two kits: Enthusiast and Pro

Enthusiast kits are geared for 7A builds with regular trips up to 7,500 RPM.  Occasional blasts to 8,000 RPM should be fine.  The primary weakness in 7A conversions is the weak rods/rod bolts on the stock 7A rods, main cap flex, and the cam timing issues when using a 7A block and a GE head. 

Pro kits are designed for users that will be racing or have large cams, header, or head work that will encourage usage up to and beyond 8000 RPM.  Unlike the 78mm stroke of a 4A bottom end, at 8000 RPM a 7A block with 85mm stroke will have piston speeds that match a Honda S2000 at 9000 rpm.  To help cope with the extreme bottom end loads, we recommend the use of MRP main reinforcement straps and ARP main studs to help reduce flexing of the stock cast iron main caps.  Keeping the bottom end aligned is essential for reliable life of bottom end bearings.  Heavy boost or all out race applications should consider using MRP’s steel crank girdle for maximum block rigidity (sold separately).
