tall-deck hybrid

[cj011]

Has anyone ever completed one of these monsters? What belt and pullies did they use?

Not to anyone's knoledge on our boards.

The lower crank pulley I beleive is a little different. I use
tall deck timing belt tentioner on my hybrids, little smaller
and seams to work out nice. Im not using the traditional
hybrid belt on my latest, will get the number its a little
longer and would help a tall deck conversion.

The setup would work but those rods look kinda tiny for
any serious RPM. The few 8v turbo tall blocks that ran
didnt have the best results If I recal correctly. I tried
giving a few complete tall block 2.5's in the past years,
wish someone would have taken them for a neat project.

Here is the tall block tentioner on a 2.5CB/2.4 head.

I'll post the alternate belt numer later.

are you still giving away tall-deck short blocks? nudge nudge..

I scrapped them shortly after I posted em up.

I unknowingly installed a tall block in a car I was
putting together for my mom, man was I confused
when it came to the timing belt and accesories. She
never took the car and I sold it, somewhere there is
a mechanic scratching his head trying to install parts
on a 92 Acclaim with an old 2.5 tall deck and a G head :)
