Hi,
I have a donor 2.0 CJ Type 4 motor which i`m considering putting in my 68 Bay.
My current engine has a damaged crank and flywheel so needs a rebuild. I was going to rebuild the Type 1 i already have into a bigger engine, but have also ended up with this Type 4 engine.
Someone has started the work on it to convert it upright cooling - it comes with a CSP shrouding kit, oil cooler, a custom support bar, electric fuel pump and heat exchangers, but it also needs a rebuild aswell really similiar to the Type 1.
My Type 1 has Dell 40s so i can reuse them, 14. rockers and also some GAC ported polished stock heads and a nice vw speedshop stainless exhaust.
So plan was to either bore this out to 94mm and fit a 74mm stroker crank to make 2054cc and then use the twin dells, gac heads and exhaust
or
Bore the Type 4 Engine out to 96mm, new ported polished cylinders, align bore the bottom end and use stock crank to make a 2056cc.
I`ve never had a Type 4 engine before so its a bit of unknown. It looks like with the 3 shrouds i have from CSP (or the DTM fan from the states), i would still need sealing tin around the back, sides of the engine and under the pulley to the rear valance.
The van it was taken off had he oil cooler mounted under the van in chassis rails - is that the best location? I imagine it would need a scoop? No air flow at idle though - not sure this would matter?
Also - the Type 4 is known for its great torque - would the Type 1 with a 74mm crank and 94mm barrels not behave the same with regards to torque?
Anyone done this before and can offer any advice?
Cheers, Mike
