THANKS! that helps alot, now i know what to look for and now i have a better idea on how to go about my build. iv been trying to think on how to build a stong bottom end for my 510, i have a good top end. cant wait till its complete. thanks again.

haha yeah thats right .... I sold the crank for more than i bought the whole package!... those cranks are in demand!

^^^ i know where u got that z22 from

Well mate if you want a Z22 block one sitting in my garage!...

BUt good luck finding one complete, they are very rare and not cheap. The rally guys really want the cranks for easy strokers. The blocks are identical to a L20b, you can you most things. The differnence between the two blocks is the nore thickness in the z22 and of course the stroke with the crank etc..

Ok the Z series engine Z18,Z20,Z22 and Z24 are an "industrial" version of the L series engine so bottom ends are pretty much interchangable.

So what you do is get a L20 motor pull the crank rods and pistons out of that get Z22 crank,rods and pistons bore the L20 out so the Z22 pistons fit then bolt the lot in crank rods and pistons then you have an L20 stroker.

You can do the same with a Z24 setup but people have done comparisons between the two setups and pick the Z22 L20 everytime as they give lots of torque but are not as slugish as the Z24 L20.

The reason the Z22 bottom end is used in the L series block with the L series head is the block is a hell of a lot lighter and the L series head is able to flow upto 3 times what a Z series head would ever flow.

The Z series motors come in nissan navaras, urvans and other such commercial or industrial nissan vehicles of the 80's.

Hope ive helped

The 720 pick up in the states also got this motor in the early 80's, and I think the 510(a10) got them also in the early 80's but right now I'm too lazy to look it up, 200sx in the states too.
