Conn47D24 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 My 47 D24 club coupe has had a 1950 p20 engine in it since mid 70s. Crate engine install by previous owner. JUST as I've gather new and NOS parts for the rebuild, I found a D24 Engine near by. Bought it for $200. Tear down starts next week ( soaking in PB blaster this weekend.) I'm psyched that I'll have the correct engine finally ! Concern / question is will all of the parts I've purchased fit? Valves, springs,pistons, gasket set, bearings? ? Also, what if the crank or cam in the D24 plant are bad. Will the p20 parts criss over? Connecting rods are different (218 vs 230 ) right?? Will this be a simple as a block & head swap ??? Ha ha ha Thanks for and help. Clay Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 depends on the very parts you bought....one thing I would be concerned with at the time is if you bought pistons/rings prior to a teardown and measure of wear for to get the correct oversize for the clean up bore.. Quote
Conn47D24 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Posted January 23, 2016 PA, my machine shop was all set to re-sleave the p20 block, so I bought new STANDARD pistons from egge. Suppose we can do the same on the D24 block? Quote

Ha ha ha Thanks for and help. Clay Clay,I can't tell you are crossover,but I can tell you that Delta Cams rebuilds camshafts,tappets,and crankshafts,and that they do quality work at a reasonable price. I have bought and used two cams from them and was happy with both. They will even grind cams to spec,so if you want to hot up your engine a little bit,that would be the time to do it. And you can keep driving your car with the engine in it now while waiting to get all this done. http://deltacam.com/ Edited January 23, 2016 by knuckleharley 1 Quote
