Verne, Unlike the later MK1V passenger and truck engines being different from each other, w/ the W motors can't you mount external passenger car parts like intakes, waterpumps etc to the truck engines even though they're lower in performance internally?. ![]() ~ Pete [/ QUOTE ] Yep! You can bolt any passenger car stuff (including Z-11 if you wanted to) onto a truck block. You're still dealing with low compression and there's NO way around it unless you weld up the fly-cut wedges. Remember, W motors have flat head surfaces, ie: no combustion chambers in the heads (except for 13cc around the valves). The combustion chamber is in the block above the cylinder bore. IT's a 16deg wedge between the top of the piston and the head. Verne ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry, I forgot to resize the pictures..... |

I yanked a good running '65 XX suffix W-motor out of a dumptruck a few years ago for my '49 Stude pickup project and like I think Hep may be too, am not as concerned about high performance as I am for simply running a W-motor under the hood!. ![]() ~ Pete
