Check out HowellAutomotive.com and look in the neon section. They have a forged 2.2 piston to use with the 3.54" stroke forged crank. But, im not sure of the rod length. They have longer eagle h beams but again, I aint sure whats needed. About 500 for the pistons (JE) and 700 for the crank.

Hey Dirt why don't you post some pics in my thread about extremists cuz this sounds pretty crazy.

ya i can run the 2.4 the only rules are that it has to b a fwd 4 cylinder....and ofcoarse the safty stuff ....fuel cell, 5 point harness, .095 roll cage, window net, ya know all that sorta stuff, but im tryin to keep the same block and head i have now ...i have alot of money in my head and im not willing to part with it ya know...i just wanna stroke it out ..maybe cam it out alil...im looking for the best combination of parts to get he job done ...i kno i could just throw parts at it and hope they match eachother but thats not my style ...i want everything to match perfectly down to the .01... if at all possible ...i wanna sqeeze all the power outta this natural aspirated 2.0 as i can ..i was looking at the 10.5 to 1 je pistons and the callies 3.543 crank using the 5.472 eagle h beam rods...does anyone have a suggestion as to which cam to run ...i currently own both the crane 14 and the crane 12...i also have the comp severe street cam....the crane 12 is installed because i was running mid sized tracks towards the end of the season and needed the power at higher rpms ..it was about perfect for the tracks i ran ..but i fear that with the extra horse itll b 2 small...maybe the 14 possible 16 or 18?...like i said in my prior post ...has anyone done anything like this b4 ..i know its obviously been done but have 1 of u guys actually built the engine b4.......im also open to suggestions..im not set in stone that this is wat im doin but like i said i have to much money in my head to let it set in the garage
