building a 24v DOHC engine

well that is what i'm not sure of. i know 1.45 rod ratio (130:89.6)

Like nando said, and from the research I've done motors with low rod ratios seem to run out of breath up top.

Old Z28 Trans Am Cars used 302s with a 2:1 rod ratio, giving them phenomal top end pull, but not much low end torque.

From what I've read, you want to get the rod ratio as close to 1.75:1 as you can for the best compromise.

You people suck at life.

Threads like this are never worthless, at the very least we can learn what not to do.

Hypothetically speaking, some chap thats been working on lame ass fords forever, gotten VERY good at, but finally see's the light and wants to move over to bimmers. Come's here for advice and you guys bash him. He's been putting motors together his entire life yet he has NO knowledge of BMW's, who's to say he cant get it all put back together with a little guidance.

My point is, why the fuck do you loser's have such a problem with people trying new things? Nothing is impossible and everybody has to start somewhere.

btw... goodluck to ya man, hope you get it all sorted. Working on engines isnt brain surgery.
