well its that time (winter) and the motors comming out, the plans are for rods, pistons and some crank work (according to old owner good stuff is it there but I wanna know for sure) the eagle esp rods and the trw forged pistons are on the way here but, the questions I have are: cam? and on the pistons with our combuistion chamber volume 76 cc the compression ratio will be 7.55 to 1 will this be a problem with not boost driving and how can you tell the l35 heads from the others ?

The casting number is 064, should be stamped inside the heads, normally junk yards list them by screwed in studs or pressed in studs, you want pressed in.

As far as the cam goes I'd use the stocker, unless you plan on spending some bucks on speed pro or a few weeks of Digs time. I'm going with Speed Pro, so I ordered the stokes grind Comp Cam (same as BG ran in his beast).

If you are asking about eagle h beams, I found a set for $360, not sure if that includes shippng and $375 with shipping. Not sure about pricing on the heads.

The L-35 HEADS have screw in studs as can be seen by looking at the base of the rocker arm studs and finding a hex head where the wrench would go. They are also known as "non adjustable" as the book gives a torque reading instead of valve lash. I got a set used with 30K at a junkyard for $150(still had knock sensors and everything in them). If you decide to part out the engine, let me know but I've read some postings that said the crank in an L-35 (W) engines is a better design(stronger), the connecting rods are made to handle higher rpms(5600 or something like that), and the cam has a higher lift or duration and has been recommended as good stock upgrade. If you decide to part out the engine please let me know. blakecgd@netzero.net. Thanks.

That's weird, but your right, I have #064's with pressed in studs, but I guess they were off a Z rated motor which is not the L-35 as you indicated. Funny thing is these heads have bigger ports than my stock heads and have the same casting number as the L-35's.

Click to expand...

Don't go by the stud configuration... there
was quite a variance in studding among the
various years.

Casting number is the final word on the deal...


Later,

warmpanniecakes asked a good question that went unanswered:
"the compression ratio will be 7.55 to 1 will this be a problem?"

You change compression ratio by getting pistons with larger compression height, right? Why not try to get a larger compressoin ratio during the rebuild? Does this put impractical restrictions on valve lift?
