Pre-Project: You crazy mo'fo..

[ginge191]

@RUAN: if i understand what you're saying; is if i use the Mi16 block with the 1.8 rods, to create a shorter stroke and lowing compression? This would be ideal, and would mean i could keep the head from the Mi16 and just replace the rods and pistons.

But i would question where the crank sits and whether the 1.8 rods would be compatable with the mi16 block?

This would then mean then not needing a XUJ4RS lump at all?

EDIT: cancel this ^^^^ ... if i was to use a XU J4RS engine, and used 1.8 rods, i'd be similarly lowering the compression which would be ideal? again, would the rods be interchangeable.
