4perrev Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 Iceman, I am using the L-18 crank. The 200sx pistons have a higher rist pin location with a lower deck height, therefor cancelling the increased height difference. The block was over bored because the cylinder measurements were off. I wanted a fresh, squared engine to start with. A previous picture will show the piston and rod difference. Quote Link to comment
iceman510 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Yup, all makes sense now. I had not reconnected the dots of the 200SX meaning Z20. I was thinking L20B (S10) since they are also 85mm bore. Now that I looked back I get it. Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 Glad to help. Also curious to see how she runs. Time is coming closer as the weekend provides more building progress! Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted August 12 Author Report Share Posted August 12 (edited) Man it's been awhile since I made any progress of the old gal. But alas, work has continued over the past two weekends. First up, I planted the engine back in. Took a bit to get it in there with the header. It was pretty close to the steering box and probably rubbed a few times, but I got her in. Second was how to connect the exhaust pipe to the header, since I did not have the connector to begin with. This is where the fun began. What I needed was to make a 2 inch pipe match a 2.5 inch pipe. Since I don't have access to a spreader and I really didn't want to take a trip in town, I basically used a hydraulic press and two trailer hitch balls to make the difference. First one down was the 2 inch and then the 2.5 inch. Once that was done, I fabricated a mounting plate out of plate steel to match the header bolt design. Then welded the pipe to the plate. All in all, it turned out pretty good. Here is the result: Top Side And straight down Think it will work as planned! Edited August 12 by 4perrev 1 Quote Link to comment
