need some dimensions for a 30 ne motor +

[baz]

hi all , i need some dimensions for a 3 L engine both cih and 24 V if possible

i need length (excluding fan )
total width ( carb and injection if poss )
engine/head widths
heights from bottom of sump to rocker cover and total heights for carb and injection set ups
length from bell to shifter on a man box

many thanks


all this because one area i go to has brought in an emission zone that costs $200 / day to drive a diesel van in so just when i have frankensprinter running nice with its engine i have to start looking for a gas engine now

I can get you the 24V info this weekend. There is one laying around somewhere

Hmmm, I wonder where?........

[baz]

you been getting one gene ?

Hmmm - Opelitis NEVER rests!

I have a 12v one to pick up here sometime but not soon - still to be paid for!

The 12v motor is a far more reliable one than the 24v ... and heaps less expensive to fix and buy parts for!

it may still be cured jim , got to work out if its going to be one of these engines (why i need the sizes ), a rover V8 , or almost anything i can get hold of got a while before its needed but starting to look now

of course theres loads of things on e-bay that i want NOW but have to wait a few weeks yet so they will not be there then

See attachment for dimensions. Of course everything is in mm.

thanks

guessing the cih is the same sort of length, if so it's to an opel 6 pot engine unless i use an auto which is not my thing
i might find something in a 4 pot or oh darn i will have to hunt out a nice rover V8 and a SD1 4 speed or 5 speed from a vitesse

some time life is just not fair
3 weeks till i can go shop for something to use and this turns up
Vauxhall/Opel Senator 3.0 AUTO on eBay, also, Vauxhall Opel, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 07-Jun-08 14:22:27 BST)

i think i must have upset some one or something at some time

Q more for rally bob

any idea on what a 2.2 or 2.4 can be made to make on torque numbers with some work (and what )
i can get carb or injection no problem
base engine would more than likely come from an opel/vauxhall frontera 4X4 so would not be tuned much to start with

not bothered about hp need grunt

would be going in a panel van with a 3.7 diff

gear box is free right now but i would be going for some thing 5 speed merc or ford from vans with an adapter as a start point as the shifter comes out of the top of the box

The 2.4L CIH is already a 'grunt' motor and increasing torque by appreciable amounts can best be done by supercharging!

2.4L = 146 CID and rule of thumb shows about 1 lb-ft of torque per cubic inch so the best a naturally aspirated 2.4L can do is around 150 lbs-ft
You could esily make 200-220 lbs-ft with around 10psi of boost with a mechanically driven supercharger - like one from a Toyota Estima.

[baz]

i think its rated at 144 lb/ft in the cars dont know about the 4x4's
its a good step up on the 68 bhp and 110 lb/ft i have now

more inter web time needed to find options , mary will kill me
