Random Little Question Thread
Can’t find solid answer to crank question
What’s up y’all. I got a blown rev up engine with rod knock. Seeing as they’re hard little buggers to come by I’m gonna rebuild it on a budget and give it to my brother.
My questions is, Will internals from a DE fit right into the rev up no problems? Specifically the crankshaft. I know the pistons have a slightly different deck height to accommodate the different heads and the rods have different style bolts. But I don’t know anything about the Rod itself or the crank. Are they the same specs? I’ve searched and not found anything addressing this here or at the Z forums.
Thanks

The only differences on the long block is the oil pump and the baffle in the oil pan, possibly different rods because some folks have bent standard DE rods when boosted when others have pushed the same WHP on the rev-up without issue. Pistons are the same, crank is the same. They may have different head bolts but they're TTY so you'll be replacing them anyways.
Get ahold of a 350Z, G35, or M35 VQ35DE and use the long block. Buy gaskets, head bolts, oil pump, possibly water pump, timing chain kit. Flow test clean/replace injectors as needed and you should be good to go.
If you had a lot of miles on the existing motor it would probably be cheaper to just keep searching for a low mile replacement revup because you're still going to need about $800 worth of stuff to get it all back together unless you're reusing a lot of components.

thanks for the reply cleric, I’ve already got a gaskets, seals and head bolts kit that ima use. The crank it has now is scored and the rod has some imperfections I’m looking to swap out but the block is otherwise fine.
Going for a regular 287 DE block is gonna need me to drill out some holes on the back of it im trying to avoid. But since you say the internals are the same fitment wise then I’m probably going to do at least a crank and rod swap. My bro is probably gonna keep it NA so rod strength isn’t a problem at this point. The oem pistons do actually have a different deck height so using de pistons in a rev up will have slightly lower compression in that cylinder so I’m probably going to get one to swap it out to keep compression consistent across all chambers. Thanks for the response! I’m estimating around $500 here for this at the end of the day with a salvaged crank, rod, and maybe new piston.

Well thank you for your support my friend! I'm going to submit one of these to a sticker printing place and see how much money it costs. If it's ridiculous then I'll abandon ship otherwise I'll post the result in the future.

Yeah, don't F with a saguaro. One time a LONG time ago we went out and though we would shoot one down, we put literally EVERY bullet we had into that thing, many boxes of shotgun shells point blank, dozens of mags of 5.56 and 7.62 from our semi rifles, countless pistol rounds including 357mag, and like 50 rounds of .338 Lapua from an experimental rifle a friend was working on for a couple contractors.
It was super ragged when we left but we quickly realized they're basically stocky spiky desert trees.
Then we found out how illegal it was to shoot one apart like that. I got mailed a picture a few years later from one of those guys and that thing was still alive and had grown these huge knots all over the middle where we blasted it apart. It was probably 100 years old when we shot it and it's still out there.
