Hi

I am looking for a 2.7L short block or crankshaft.

Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can find one?

thanks

The 2.7 NA engine for 89 is the same crankshaft used on all the 8 valve motors, including the turbos. It should be easy to source.

The short block is a one year only, bigger pistons, desired by racers (no substitute for cubic inches) and not easy to source, as a result.

I guess I may be confused.

From my understanding the 2.7 was a stroker, and the 3.0 was a stoker with bore.

I am looking for the striker crank, rods and block.

Hudson,

The 2.7L had a 104mm piston diameter and has been said the same 2.5L 8v crankshaft.

The stroker is 2.8L, using an 8v 944 2.5L block and a 3.0L crankshaft which has a longer rod throw.

The new connecting rods are needed because the bearing cap of the 2.5L rod is too thick to clear the bottom of the block and the block cannot be modified, grinding for clearance, makes the block structurally weak.

Thank you

So, correcting, the 2.8/3.0 stroker crank, rods, and block.

Any leads, anyone?

If you're sourcing a 3L crank you may as well just buy a whole 3L engine. You may get lucky and just find a 3L crank, but as you say, you'll need rods and pistons too and it would be better to just start with the whole 3L engine. The 3L block is a much better design. If you're building a new engine for your car, the 3L is the way to go. Plus you'll get the rods and pistons to match. Search for 944S2 or 968 engines.
