I have a set of Eagle I beam rods with forged pistons I got in a trade deal. I would like to use the pistons for my 406 build but the rods are rated at 500 and I should make nearly 575hp on motor and gonna have a single plate kit as well.
Would like to go to a h beam rod but the I beam rods are press fit and the pistons aren't for floating rods either.
I was wondering if there are anyone who offer press fit h beam rods or if the set of pistons could be machined for a set of spiro locks and mill the wrist pins a little narrower??
I am not really worried about having bushed rods the motor should see peek power around 6500rpm.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
