( slant chrysler engines for a start) if its not a good combo, how come  i`m getting 160 hp/120 kw at rear wheels? so what if the cylinder becomes part of chamber?      mark.k. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richardson, Thomas Morgwn - RICTM002 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 12:30 PM Subject: RE: Z series questions Mark,   That's not really a very good combo, because it has a deck height of -1.95mm which means the cylinder walls are becoming part of the combustion chamber which is something they aren't designed to do.   - Tom -----Original Message----- From: mark krawczuk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 22 November 2001 11:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Z series questions hi.   1 should do 2 should do 3 not sure , the z24 have different shaped ports , hence manifold/s is different. 4  you will have to use L20B conrods and z  20 pistons the l and z blocks are exact same  height, and putting a z2.4 crank in my l20b i had to use l20b rods and z 20 pistons.      mark k   ----- Original Message ----- From: David Costello To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 10:32 PM Subject: Z series questions was just wondering a few things about Z series motors   #1 will the Z24 crank go in the Z20 block?hi   #2 will the Z18ET manifolds bolt up to the Z20 head?   #3 out of the Z18, z20 and z24 heads, is there any particular one that flows better?   #4 assuming the z24 crank fits, what pistons and rods would I use? Z20 rods and pistons?  not really worried about final compression ratio cause I will be getting forgies made up so I'll get them made with a little less compression if need be, just wondering which pistons I should get them to copy   Thanks guys n girls   Dave --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
