RE: Milano Mod's?

Anthony -

I don't think that the 3.0 pistons and liners can be used in a 2.5. Anyone
else know otherwise?

A long time ago I think someone (shankle?) offered a 'big bore' kit for the
2.5 which made it into something like a 2.7 if I remember correctly. Anyone
know anything more about these?

Are there any other piston choices available off the shelf for the 2.5s that
offer a higher  compression ratio? I'm not aware of any P&L sets other than
stock.

The thought of shaving the heads for the sole purpose of increasing
compression does not really appeal to me that much.

Emission requirements here are not too much of a concern, although the
catalytic converter needs to be retained for a 'visual' inspection.

Thanks,

Jeff

The usual stuff: 10.5:1 compression ratio, ported head, with big intake
valves if the budget will stretch to it, interesting camshafts, a re-mapped
ECU to tip more fuel in.

If you're doing a complete rebuild anyway, can 2.5 pistons and liners be
replaced with pistons and liners from a 3 litre? That would be an easy way
to pick up another 20% power and torque.

What are the emissions regulations like where you are?  Having only
theoretical understanding of emissions regulations, but not being subject to
them myself, I imagine that would be the limiting factor.

regards,
Anthony.
