We are attempting fitting a 2.7 into our 1974 rustout hulk but have come across another hurtle. I have had a 2.7 kicking around for awhile and "assumed" we could go through it with new bearings/rings/..... and have a nice power plant. Not so quick there. The head stud issue is well known and I recently found when the magnesium cases are disassembled the crankshaft bores no longer return to a round/aligned condition.
I want to believe someone out there can get these magnesium cases in serviceable condition with good crank bores and good head stud bores. thanks |

Spend an hour or building a shipping crate to send our 2.7 case to Ollies. After doing my research it appears as though they are the men.

They did a great job on my 2.4L If you didn't follow my thread, the only hitch I ran into was needed to use Porsche OEM bearings for the mains as Ollies recommended. $600ish for the set not including #8 nose bearing. Other than that I got all my bearing cleanances within spec. Used Clevite for rods - no issues. |
