I got the old girl running again with a replacement tranny with a lil help from you guys. so now I am sitting on two long blocks fully assembled.
Needless to say I am naturally going to take one apart.
I was reading on old datsuns and a few other sites about turning one of my engines into a stroker.
Here is the info coutesey of olddatsuns.com of course:
"
Medium block 2.4 Liter.
Stuff a Z24 crank and pistons into NAPS-Z or L20B block bored to 89mm by cutting down crank counterweights and clearance grinding block as per Ben Pila. This gives you a 2389cc L-series motor that doesnt require using defective (crack prone) Z24 block, fabricating timing cover, lengthening timing chain or modification to close hood. Z24 piston tops will need to be milled down slightly. Fedral-Mogul 33.8mm pin height pistons might not need milling? Click HERE for Bens write-up of necessary modifications.
Compression ratio with Z24 pistons and open chambered head is 10.25:1 before pistons milled.
parts: : modified Z22 block, modified Z24 crank, modified Z24 pistons, Z22S/ L20B rods
s/2+r+p: 227.7
piston deck height: 0.45 (above deck)
stroker 2.3 Liter
Stuff a Z24 crank into a modified Z20/Z22/L20B block by cutting down counterweights as above.
No piston modification or block boring needed for 2283cc L series.
see http://hobbslaw.nissanpower.com/custom2.html for an example
Russ noted that his deck height measured -1.77mm with the Z22E pistons that he first tried using, he eventually used milled Z22S pistons to achieve a higher compression ratio.
Parts: Z24 crank, Z22E pistons, Z22S/ L20B rods in a Z22 block or +2mm bored Z20/L20B block.
s/2+r+p= 96/2+145.9+32.1= 226.0 mm
piston deck height: -1.45mm below deck"
anyone ever seen one? and is it worth it?
I want to have the stroker and a stock on hand. It seams fairly simple to perform this mod. I do have some questions about what cam and intake(custom?) and exhaust(custom?) to use. or how about the medium block?
