E, whats the deal with the hybrid 2.3/2.6 thing I hear about on Isuzu forums? 2.6 head on 2.3 block? What you thinking about putting in there?

ive seen the 2.6 head on 2.3 block, but im going to be using a complete 2.6 with a 2.3L trans, flywheel, and clutch. I'd imagine putting the 2.6 head on the 2.3 would drop the compression. But both motors already have a pretty good compression ratio for boost. you can also take the 2.6 manifold and make the 2.3L fuel injected. I still havent found pistons for it, i've read about people using EJ20 pistons but havent found much info about it.

[LethalEthan]

they make forged rods in Australia. They also make a manifold over there that will fit both the 2.6 and 2.3. as for pistons, i haven't decided yet.
