Building a 2.8
OK,
so I have read how to build a 2.8 from the pages of Wayne's book.
I will go that way if anyone can point me at a reasonably priced early 930 motor.
What are my other options.
I know I can get 2.8L cylinders for a 2.7L motor. That will give me a 92x70.4 bore and stroke motor. The bad thing about this is using the 2.7L case.
I figure I can get replacement cylinders that underbore a 3.0L motor. Basicly take a sc motor and have cylinders made that fit this motor, but are 92mm instead of the stock 95mm from CMW or the like (someone out there make these for stock ?) Drawback being the cost of the 92mm cylinders.
Option 3? replicate the 930 setup with an sc case. Use the 95mm cylinders and pistons and a 2.2L crank. Special bearings? sleeves in the case of some sort ? Anyone doing this or have heard of this?
Give me some more ideas. I will take them.
Thanks
Ed
