Re: Anybody done a stroker 2.2? (somwehat long)

[Jorge Guerrero <jguerro1@tld2.tld.net>]

If you are going to upgrade to a 2.2L, I suspect that you are going to
use 10:1 or 10.5:1 compression.  Also, if this is the case you will have
to put a later model ignition with knock sensor.  This is my opinion
because it wouldn't be wise to make a low compression strocker unless
that you are thinking turbo.
