RE: L/Z conversion

[Richardson, Thomas Morgwn - RICTM002]

The bellhousing on the Z boxes is different because the blocks sit nearly vertical as opposed to the big lean on an L.  An FJ20DET box will indeed bolt up to a Z, and is probably the best choice since they're tough as nails, but like the engines, most FJ stuff will probably require a rebuild by now -----Original Message----- From: David Costello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 8 January 2002 2:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: L/Z conversion which are the lowest compression L20's ? why doesn't using a Z20 limit gearbox choice? aren't they the same bolt pattern as an L20 ? what would be the best bolt up gearbox for what's planned to be a very mean Z series? will an FJ20DET box bolt up?   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 9:51 PM Subject: RE: L/Z conversion Dave,   A U67 and a Z18ET head have exactly the same chamber volume i.e. 45.2cc so the compression ratio would be all but the same (allow small variance due to head gasket thickness, shaves etc) CR of L20B varies from 8.2:1 to 9.2:1 depending on year - Black top S2 Bluebird is the highest.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Costello Sent: Monday, 7 January 2002 7:35 PM To: Ozdat Mailing List Subject: L/Z conversion guys what compression ratio would you end up with if you put a Z18ET head on an L20B or Z20 bottom end?   is either block stronger? the L20 or the Z20?   could I get enough shaved off the top of the L20 pistons to use the Z18 head?   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/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
