Default Mahle -16cc users...

Anyone using Mahle -16cc pistons? What connecting rods are you using with them? I am wondering if they can be used with offset 6.125" sbc rods or if they have offset pin bosses requiring ls1 on-center rods.


Anyone know for sure?

I think the Mahles I used on my 346 were -16cc.

I just used them with Callies rods. Worked perfectly for me.
