stroker

[beachbum_jon]

so i have a lq4, it needs a rebuild.

so instead of selling it i thought, hey, how about i throw it in s13 240sx (same style that was on pinks when quik was the negotiator for that team, the yellow 240 with the ls1(?))

anyways, if i am going to be rebuilding it, why not stroke it, i know that a 408 is very common, but how big can you actually go with bore and stroke?

[bangbangskeetskeet]

Why put it in a 240?.... But it depends on how big the bore is and what not...when mine is all said and done it will be a 4.04 bore and have a 4.00 stroke...that yields just over a 414ci motor...depending on who you talk to 4.04 is "the most you can bore it out" but I have heard of guys takin them out to 4.06+....

240s are light weight and a dime
a
dozen..
They don't look that bad,and would be a fun swap, especially if a older 240z was used

curious to how you figured 414 with just .010 more over then a 408? i thought 4.06 was 414 and the 4.04 was a 410

yeah, 4.04 w/4" stroke = 410.

4.06 bore w/4.1" stroke = 425

[bangbangskeetskeet]

Wow...did I really type 414......maybe its cuz Im not sure if its gonna be a 4.04 or 4.06 bore yet....hasnt been machined. Ehhe oh well

so quik, any words of advice, being you are well versed on the 240 swap?

i would love to use a z car, when i see when in a parking lot, i just cant stop thinking about stuffing a ls1 or similar in it.


btw this will be my first v8 build, so bare with me here

here is what i have planned so far. stroked lq4 (unsure to what size yet)
bigger cam (also unsure of this yet) with p-rods valves springs keepers retainers to match, ls6 intake, lt headers,

Are you aware of how much money you just spent in that one sentence? those stroker cranks alone are 2k and up

[beachbum_jon]

i would prolly say like 3k. but like i said im not sure yet what all i am going to do engine wise, i can get parts at wholesale price so that helps me alot.

i might even just say srew my lq4 back home, and just buy a ls1 here in phoenix. south dakota is along way to bring a motor.
