- Cologne 2.9 and 4.0
I read where it says that if you put 2.8 pistons in your 2.9 it increases the compression. Do any of you guys here know if that actually works or not?
Also if you convert the 2.9 to a MAF do you still use the speed density system? And any ideas on a cam grind. I don't like what comp has available.
I would like to make my 89 2.9 as heavily modified as possible. I'm also considering adding a turbo as well. Where I live here in NE Pa there are many folks with 5.0s in there B IIs. I want to be different and keep the 2.9. I am aware that this is the Cologne block with the new style heads that Ford put on which makes it a harder block. I understand that there is a high nickel content in the Cologne blocks. This motor is still un running condition. Besides the lifter noise when it's first started, in which was always a problem due to poor oiling, the truck runs good. Keep in mind that this vehicle is NOT going to be a daily driver, just my little Project in Progress!
Any ideas anyone has would be appreciated... Thanks.
