Stroker

[Russell T. Neyhart]

    Forgive me if this has been asked before, but there don't seem to be
many Eurovans around to begin with, much less ones available to donate their
engine.  Where could one be found?

> Eurovans up to 93 have a compression ratio of 8.5 to one.. The later
models use 10.0 to one. The block I got for my 2.5 turbo had pistons with a
dish similar to the early turbos. Later pistons have a dish that resembles
the high compression 2.3's .. The eurovan block lacks the oil cooling jets
under the cylinder bores, is missing a distick tube mount and a rear heater
outlet flange. All can be machined (as I did in mine)..
