There are off the shelf pistons for the LS1 block up to a 3.908". The LS2 is a standard 4.00" bore, so you can't use those pistons in an LS1 block.

I have some good 02 LS1 stock rods/pistons. PM me if your interested.

why not go with Callies C-Series I beam rods? 6.125, bushed small end, ARP rod bolts, $355 shipped

get some mahle pistons, this way you have forged rods/pistons with valve reliefs for big cam and/or milled heads, increased rod ratio, lighter pistons.

its too easy

Well i guess if you will loan me the money i could go with all forged internals you can put me on the pay as you can plan lol but on a serious note i just dont have the cash for that as of right now my nova needs other things and im just focusing on making it a nice driver with some cool factors but your input is appreciated
