finally building the D17

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've finally got to where i can start building my D17 puller and i wanted to ask again what the thoughts would be on the general idea.M code engine, bored to 4.375 w/ case 1150 sleeves and pistons
grinding the crank to 2" (half because the crank i have had a spun bearing, half for the stroke)
i haven't het figured what i need for the connecting rods as they're going to need to be custom with the 1.5" piston pin and 2" crank journal- ideally id like to get as close to the head as i can, id like to achieve 12-14:1.
I'm planning on larger valves but on not yet sure how much oversized i can go.
i already have a tall head for better ignition
i haven't yet figured out my cam but im planning on working the gov to get 2k rpm and id like peak power between 1600 and 2k
im working on getting the finals and axles out of a 180. they will need some work to fit in a d17 but that work can all be done in house

where does everyone think im lacking or need to do more research on. 

a question to those who have bored one of these engines. 
what kind of issues do you run into with the sleeves already being past the main bearings? i was looking at mine and its cast into the block to have room for the sleeves to already be recessed into the sides of the block on the far sides of cylinder 1 and 2.
