It's time to start the project thread to inform the world and conversely have the world inform me on the installation of my Rebello 3.0 liter stroker motor. I approached Dave a year ago about a year ago with a nebulous idea of what I wanted. I told him I want Torque and horsepower, but not at the expense of driveability. I want my wife, who already loves the way the car looks, to also be willing to get in and ride. Dave suggested his 3.0 liter stroker offering. I had an L28ET block to use, and the rods for that combination are L24. So Dave provided the rods and used my block and crank. But what head? I had two on hand. One, the turbo head from my block, would have resulted in two low of a CR. So that was put up for sale and sold in a few minutes. The other head, a B.C. Gerolomy modified E31 was chosen. This head has big valves, and porting and polishing from back in the day.. B. C. Gerolomy was the go-to guy for cylinder heads when Datsun was tearing up the tracks and the Z car was new. The CR for this head is in the 11:1 range. But this is "static" CR. The biggest problem static CR causes is the starter having to overcome the CR to get the engine turning and started. Some modification was necessary though. Because we are going to be fuel injecting this motor! The plan is to use a non-EGR L28 intake, which has been extrude honed and a TWM throttle body which I had on the shelf. Megasquirt will provide the brains and ill be using crank fired ignition and blocking off the distributor hole. Coil-on-plug using GM coils. Pill be picking up the motor within the week or two. Daves in California, I'm in Nevada so there has to be some coordination. The engine is done though. Here is the car this engine will power. The BRE Spook is the current configuration.
