Stroke a motor 2.3 or 2.4

[mtcs]

How involved is it to stroke a motor? which is more cost efficient and I guess, better in general (Cost to performance)

2.3 or 2.4?

I'm assuming by 2.3 you mean a stroked 2 liter block, and by 2.4 you mean an actual 2.4 block?

The 2.3 is the easiest to do. All you need is the crank and pistons, and a little clearancing on the block with a typical die grinder and carbine bur. Some poeple don't like the wrist pin being up in the oil ring, but in practice it works just fine. The 2.4 requires a little more work, but nothing to difficult. I've yet to build one so I'll let you search out the details yourself. The main advantage is being able to use "normal" pistons, or long rods with the stroker style pistons (long rod motor).
