2.5 stroker

MSO · May 21st, 2007, 08:15 PM

can u take the crank, rods, and pistons out of a 2.5L ranger and use them in ur 2.3? and if so, is there anything besides swapping the parts that u wud need, in terms of comps, diff head or valvetrain or anything?

TurboLX · May 21st, 2007, 10:02 PM

first off the 2.3 has larger crank journals so that wont fit and the 2.3's pin height is lower and the rod lengths are different...unless you get new rods and psitons and bore the block 30" over...i would just use the 2.5 block from the ranger..its not worth that much trouble for a 2.3

MSO · May 22nd, 2007, 08:23 PM

hmm i see, the point is to use my engine tho

wut about the 6"chevy rods? i kno i need a diff crank.. and prolly pistons.. damn stoking is hard

TurboLX · May 22nd, 2007, 09:02 PM

well if you bore the 2.3 30" over then the pistons should fit, let me look into the rods

MSO · May 22nd, 2007, 10:06 PM

boring it shudnt cost too much eh?

i dunno dude, i dont wannaspend a fortune stoking it only to find out i cud got a long rod kit for like $500

TurboLX · May 23rd, 2007, 03:10 PM

MSO · May 23rd, 2007, 07:18 PM

TurboLX · May 23rd, 2007, 09:32 PM

MSO · May 27th, 2007, 01:40 PM

MSO · June 5th, 2007, 01:31 AM

u ever find out?

TurboLX · June 5th, 2007, 03:35 PM

yea i did, he said it should be fine, wouldnt be no different if it was a 2.3

TurboLX · June 7th, 2007, 08:28 PM

he just said this

Well the pistons have to be custom made first of all.
There should be some out there that will work. Diamond racing makes pistons for the head. They're required so if/when the timing belt snaps, you don't hit all 16 valves. Basically the pistons are needed to make the motor a non-interference motor

MSO · June 7th, 2007, 09:47 PM

explain to me what a non-interference motor is

and y custom? they gotta be cut a certain way or sometin?
