L24 buildup

[JMT240KGTR]

Just like some feedback on the build up below.

Note I've built an L6 before, (converted L24 to L26 specs, cammed, high comp, usual mods etc), and also had a 260Z with high comp L28, 240 carbs, Holinger 5 speed etc etc.

Both engines were very powerful, and responded differently to varying situations. I liked the revving of the L24/26 over the 2.8.

What I'm going down the route of now is re-building an L24 with pretty much the same formula as the two previous builds and that is:-

L24 crank/rods (std)

L24 bore (std)

Head shaved .060" E88 42mm inlet & 33mm exhaust valves (std)

Elec distributor & coil to suit

Ex-turbo L28 oil pump

240Z Su's

Camshaft ? to be determined

Extractors

C/R should be in the high 9's ie 9.8-9.9:1

Driveline C110 5 speed

3.9 R180 diff

Mind you I like and prefer the 2.8 buildup, but since I hadn't done a 2.4 before I'm going to give this a shot.

Anyone done a similar build up with a 2.4? How does it sound? Recommendations on the cam? Anything? I want to see what I can extract from the smaller of the L6s, if you guys know, bring it on!

I recommend that you fit 35 & 44mm valves.

Most power gains in the L engines are in head work & the valve sizes are one area that it's easy to improve on.
