I want to make an '86 XR4 engine a NA carbureted engine. Whereas these engines are not my specialty..I am asking you guys what things I will need and what problems I will encounter. Thanks
It is very expensive to make the N/A engine fast, if you could even call it that. Unless you have intentions of really trying to do something with the N/A motor, you're better off just finding stock parts to throw on it and make it run.PetesPonies said:I'm doing a 2.3 project. This is one engine available to me. Compression is not too much of an issue, as I said..I'm building an engine. I can choose my pistons, have the head milled whatever. I wasn't sure if the ports would match up to a carb manifold etc. Things like that ....
RustBucket said:LOL Brantley, but your analogy is backwards. Technically speaking, the 1.8 'scort motor is newer than the windsor stuff.
Maybe you should swap out the dubya motor for a flathead. Hmmm.... twin turbo flathead??
