Predator 212 hemi to Predator 224

[Shed-shinanigans103]

Hello everyone, so I’ve had my hemi 212 for quite awhile. I just got my hands on a new mega Moto 212 frame kit from gps. Put it all together and also picked up an electric start kit for the hemi. (Flywheel with starter gear and internal magnets, 2 charging coils, shroud housing, and the key assembly with all needed wiring) Nice little kit from v power equipment. Well today harbor freight was running a sale on the new predator 224 and I couldn’t pass it up haha. From my understanding, the 224 replicates the non hemi more than the hemi, which in term means the taper on the flywheel is different. Would I be able to simply swap the crank from my existing hemi into the newly acquired 224?

The piston wrist pin and rod journal is also different.

So you would have to use the crank, rod , and piston from the 212cc.

I don't really see the point of de-stroking the 224 back down to 212cc,
and pulling out the 224's forged crank to install an inferior cast crank.

My opinion, Just keep your hemi crank where it is.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose the 224 will keep its internals. I’d really like to add charging capabilities though down the road. Are you aware of any billet flywheels with a starter gear and internal magnets?
