Sammy, or anyone else,
We were talking at Don & Glenns Swap last week about my delema of not knowing for sure what size 6 cyl. engine is in my '73 conversion car. The questions was that the privious owner said that the engine was 2.7 but the numbers on the case say 2.2 E, the heads & cam towers are early (6 bolt lowers). Anyway, you told me to check the cylinders to see if they are aluminum or Iron, well, they are Iron. So what does that mean? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) -Mike D. |

I'm with JP. It's a 2.4, tops. And it's hard to imagine that it's running anything but "T" pistons either with those cast iron barrels. But a 2.4 T built from a 2.2 E with early 2.0 cam towers? This would be some bassackwards frankenstein motor IMHO. Check that type number down there behind the serial #. It would at least give us a start...
If it is a 2.7, it would be advantageous to use an early 2.0 (aluminum) crankcase, but the rest of it just doesn't make any sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
