DY3 Block will only take 2.1 litre liners and pistons that is the upgrade recommended, not sure but would guess 2.3 litre liners would need some engineering of the blockDY3 is a short stroke from the late 60's, early 70's. You shoudl be able to fit a DS23 piston/liner set. I'll leave that to the experts to detail(me, I'd like to rebuild one to 2.5 or 2.6 litres using CX parts!).
Its probably not a DS19, rather a DS20, or "DSpecial/Dsuper".
It was headed DY3, the misleading bit was the info of "old" DS19.I stand corrected, I only saw “old DS19” and not the DY3 . Maybe it should have been headed ” old ID19 block”? I do agree the 2347 liners will give you overheating problems.

Oooohhhh CX..... waaaaay toooo modern!I like 'old' and am comfortable with that as a description for long strokers. I reckon the beam axle is 'ancient' i.e. horse and cart stuff! And as for anything post CX, it is positively 'space age' modern.
He says its a DY3 thoughI’m with John T on this. Old DS19 block is another species of animal. They won‘t fit. Different block all together.
