ok im new here but ive been running eco's for a long time can somebody tell me what i have here ? i took a le5 block and piston's used a l61 crank and rod's and a patriot l61 head with a stage 3 crane cam's custom grind put the whole thing together and turned thru by hand nothing hitting i had to cut the top of the rod's to fit the le5 piston's also cut side clearence on rod's going to crank it this weekend can't wait !!

so correct me if im wrong.................but................you took a block with the same size bore pistons, and installed a crank with a shorter stroke....................so unless youve done something i dont know about, since you used the crank from a 2.2L i would have to guess you just make another 2.2L engine............ why all the extra work ??????
this would make it DEstroked...not a stroker

agreed^^^^^^

the displacement would put you around a 2.3L so you can look at it as a destroked 2.4 as listed above

i put a 2.2 crank and rod's in a 2.4 i used the 2.4 piston's and a patriot 2.2 head i always thought the block height was the same between 2.2 and 2.4 but my piston's come out of the block very little but there outta the block ( makes more compression ) car run's excellent haven't raced it yet hopefully this weekend still working on a custom gear for the f23 trans

the 2.4 pistons probably came outta the head cus they were made to go on 2.4 rods..which are probably a little shorter. putting a 2.2 crank in a 2.4 block is no different than just running the whole 2.2 to begin with......it yeilds no difference..save your sweat and cash
