New Product!! ZZP Gen 3 Forged 2.4L Short Block For Polaris Slingshot - Free Shipping!!!

https://zzperformance.com/coll…3-forged-2-4l-short-block

Whether you’re planning on adding boost or just looking for a robust bottom end for your NA build, ZZPerformance has you covered with our ZZP Gen 3 Forged 2.4L Short Block. We start with a brand new GM Gen 3 bare block and crank. We then install a set of Molnar forged rods that have proven to be extremely durable under the harshest conditions. We then finish the build with a set of 88mm 10.4:1 compression Diamond forged pistons, which were made for us by Diamond to our exact specifications. Built from the ground up by our in house techs, you will not find a better short block for your build.

This is a fully assembled short block, including block, bearings, GM crank, pistons, & rings. Does not include the water pump, timing chain assembly (guides/chain), or the front cover. The parts we use are new. This is not a reman or used engine. We
do this to remove potential machining errors in bearing journals and clearances. This gives us the reliability of a new factory engine with the performance of forged internals.

Includes:

• New Gen3 2.4 block
• New 2.4 Crankshaft
• Diamond Forged Pistons
• Molnar 4340 Connecting Rods
• OEM Bearings

Improvements in the block include:

-Cylinder wall bracing that prevents sleeves from breaking out in high HP applications

-Sand casting which removes porosity found in the older foam cast Gen 1 and Gen 2 blocks

-5 pounds of additional aluminum adding internal structural support and solves the coolant jacket leakage issues with Gen 2 blocks

Because this is a new engine from ZZPerformance there is NO CORE CHARGE.

Important break in procedure:

We recommend running Comp Cams "break in" oil for the first 200 miles. Before you start the car with the new engine, we recommend that you fill with oil, then leave the injector harness unplugged and turn engine over until the oil pressure light goes out, or even better, use an oil pressure gauge. This ensures that you are starting the engine with full oil pressure.

When the engine is running in gear and at light throttle, bring it up to 4500rpm, then coast down to near idle(still in gear), then 5000, then 5500, then 6000, and 6500 each time letting it coast down to idle. This will help seat the rings. Then after a couple heat cycles, start running it under power.

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to email me at Kyle@zzperformance.com

Quote from wokka

Kyle, I assume we can drop this in as a replacement, would you recommend we put a new timing chain on? New gasket kit would probably be needed as well.

What other costs are we looking at?

Any upgraded cams we should think about or stick with the stock ones?

Thanks, now I have a new goal to budget for...

This is a drop in replacement yes. Any additional parts needed really all depends on what your situation is, what your goals are, and WHY you're replacing the short block. Obviously, you'll need a new head gasket ($75). Since it's a new block you may as well put in head studs since they are reusable ($145). If you shoved a rod through the block you have material in the oil pump which is built into the front cover. In that scenario, you would want a new front cover ($150) and gasket ($20) otherwise you will push that material into your new engine and smoke it. A timing set would be highly recommended especially for the guys running boost ($300).

If you're going for a full on performance build, you could do cams and upgraded valve springs to combat valve float. We have a set of stage 2 cams coming out soon. They will probably be somewhere in the $800-$1000 range and will come with longer lash adjusters. Our 82# valve springs that come with titanium retainers are the best on the market. Those run $300. We also offer a ported head for $1275 which comes with the 82# valve springs installed.
