2.3

[zachdeagle16]

I was thinking about building a 2.3 using the kit that slowboy sales. Ive heard people say that when you build a 2.3, you have to notch the block to alow enough clearance for the rods. is this true? also is there anything different between the 2.0 and 2.3 besides the size and the internals? Thanks.

Yes, you will have to clearance the bottom of the bores for the rods, since the stroke is a good bit longer, and, if its a 6-bolt, the 1-2 and 4-5 main caps. Its actually quite easy, and if you dont feel upto the task, any local machine shop that has built a domestic stoker can do it.

Other than that, there is really no difference in assembly from that of a regular 2.0.
