just leave it the stock displacement and build it to rev higher. balance the rotating assembly and put some good valve springs in there.
Balancing and valve springs wont bring the piston speeds down on an engine that has alot of stroke. Btw dcr claims the 2.6 stroker revs to 8k+ so Im sure revving the 2.4 that high is possible with enough green backs.
Ive searched the forums and found other threads talking about it but no actual answers. All you hear is "blah blah did it", so im just wondering if anybody has actually done it and how it was done?
I know I could just build a hybrid engine out of an 80s 2.2l and SRT head but I would much rather use the SRT block.
why de stroke, if you want a more "square" engine (bore : stroke relationsip) just go .30 over and call it a day, i think destroking would just increase the rod speed (if i'm not mistaken) thats not gona let you rev higher any safer
if one of your reasons is to rev higher your going to have to beef up the head some and unless your planning to stick with stock internals many just use the stock stroke but build the car to handle the higher reves with new head and pistons and rods. my set up is good for 8500+
your best bet though is to talk to Rage nemofoss and he can pretty much tell you the answers to any of your questions he has done a lot of one off stuff just to try it out
