Wondering if we can make this a sticky kinda like the Holet threads? I'm trying to search of 2.1, 2.2, etc., but the search feature doesn't like numbers like that.
Anyway, a buddy of mine (who is also on the forum) has a 2.4 setup. I told him I'd love to have the crank and he asked why not just get the whole motor. Then it hit me. Why DON'T I get the whole motor??? I have a spun rod bearing on the number 1 cylinder so looks like it's time for a build for me and thinking stroker might be best for me, but not as educated as I'd like to be.
I don't know the differences between the 2.3 and the 2.4 motors. I know the 2.3 just basically needs different pistions, 2.4 crank, and some clearancing and that's pretty much the only difference I guess. I'm also wanting to build an aluminum rod motor but not sure how much clearancing would be needed or cost involved to get that done. I know Tim Zimmer did it but I'm not Tim Zimmer and sure he has more money than me. Lol.
As for any of the other motors, I have no clue about any of them. Don't know what parts have to be swapped out, not sure what rev limit each is good for. Not sure what cars to get parts from for "X" motor, etc. Would sure be nice to have ONE thread to be able to find most of this stuff in. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.
