Re: pistons/rods help

What do you want for the rods????

Also i noticed the the rod length is 5.7, But is it Possible to throw in the 6.0 in there with out changing anything else or whats the Diff. And would it even help? Sorry ive been out of the game of V8s for so long that im having a Brain fart.

A 6" rod isn't recommended simply because you don't get enough meat in the piston area when you have to move the wrist pin up. Asking $350 + shipping for the rods.

well to start a 6" rod with a 2.25" journal size isnt a common rod, plus you would need custom pistons to locate the ring lands where they need to be for forced induction. Can be done, granted your deck height is where is needs to be, but save the hassles and go with readily available parts that have been proven.
