This would give me a KA22DE with a 90 mil bore and a 92 mil stroke. With the DOHC head good valve train I’m sure it would rev real high! I talked to a machinists and he told me he would have to cut off the fronts of the cranks and swap them and re mill the crank journals to make a lower stroke KA block. I would like to try this as a prototype in NA form with 11.1 pistons and revving to 8 k I wonder where it would peek out too? An Sr is 86 mill 86 bore this motor would be 90 mil 92 stroke
HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

This KA22DE motor has never been built and I plan to do it all motor just to see the out come of a hi reaving KA motor that’s all most square but larger than a SR I think the out come will be surprising and I’m looking forward to an 85k rev limit. If I can work this out NA the next one I build will the for turbo bottom mount and ill be looking for 600HP
PS I found a Z22 block for 150 bucks with a good ole forged crank!And im going to use th cheapest parts a can findAnd my friend is about to give me his KA24DE engine so its time to play:ylsuper
