Hi guys,
I have found a 4 main bearing 200 crankshaft. I was trying to remember if I use the 200 crank with 170 rods and pistons in a 170 block, does it come up to a 188 CI? Do I need to have custom pistons? or can I just use the stock rods and pistons?
I have a 4 main 170 block. I have checked, and a late model Duraspark distributor does fit in it. I can't remember how you check it for oiling capability for a hydraulic camshaft. I remember checking this before and we decided it did have the capability. Please remind me again what to look for to tell how? I want to make sure. IIRC, it is a C4DE block, but will have to look at the date code on it when I get home.
My plan is to build this up for my reverse trike with a C-4 automatic in a Triumph front car chassis with a swing axle rear chain drive. Kind of make it look like the old Morgan, but with a 6 cyl instead of a V-Twin up front.
I would value your brainstorming and input. There are some great ideas on this forum. Thank you.
