3.2 short stroke porn

[Mysterytrain]

Thought I would share the progress on my rebuild. It started life as 78 3 liter. Soon it will be a 3.2 short stroke, CIS with 964 cams, SSI's backdated heating..can't wait to get it back on the road.

Nice motor. I want her, err, I mean it :-) Wait I'm already married, oops.

I've been reading many many threads on the short stroke 3.2 and it seems to be an awesome way to go. Question, with the later 930 case you can go either long (74.4) or short (70.4) strokes. What is the core differences that would make you opt to go one way or the other?

Nice motor.
What induction are you going to be using on this engine and is it going back into a 78 car?

Thanks

Do a search for '3.4' for posts from Pelican 'rdane'. The 74mm crank with 98mm P&Cs gives you a 3.4. You will need more than just the crank to do this conversion on a 3.0 core so do your homework before you start buying any parts. It's an easier conversion if you are starting with a 3.2 Carrera core.

Thanks, I found a bunch of really helpful threads. I've got some reading to do :-)

I dont get it, where is the porn? Where are the boobs? where is the cheesy music? Where are the midgets and the large farm animals? Am I missing something?

Just kidding, looks nice, good luck!

Mysterytrain, are you using the original cylinders and heads from the 78 motor? More to the point, It came with nikasil?

Andy,
I'm using another set of larger bore 98 mm mahle nikasil. Still have the original nikki set and case. I should have the car back in another week or so.
