stroking a 4 cyl Options

[ws91420]

Looking to build a 2270. I know I know get a Jake kit.
I'm a bit of a rebel and want to go at it myself.
Stroker crank 78mm what else is needed.

is a longer cylinder need for the stroke
longer rods should I go chevy or type 4 rod journals
thinking about doing larger intake valves on the heads and using 40mm Webers

I guess the thing is that I have a fairly fresh rebuild of a 2.0 in the car that I want to use. Heads had new valve guides and one seat replaced and the others checked. new valves put in. A high volume melling oil pump was put in as well. I did not put a cam for carbs in b/c at the time I was planning to stay w/ FI. I already have carbs 40 mm Webers so I would like to stay with them at this time.
I did the rebuild before I ever heard of Jake and his stuff and before he started offering kits.

the whole thing has to come apart anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

but remember... its all in the combo as jake says....

increased stroke may mean changes in your heads... and definately a cam swap if you would like to run carbs.

your 40's are most likely too small for the ~300CC increase of displacement...

mellings are "eh" ok... but schadeck's and a few other pumps are a bit nicer.


jake's kits are miles ahead of most... and are cheaper in the long run (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
