Rod and Piston Upgrade I currently have a cam only car but have Stage 2 heads ready to be put on. Rather that pay for the instalation on the heads and then for the rods and pistons later I want to do it all at once. What brand rods and pistons would you suggest? What type of machine work will need to be done on the block and how much would it cost? I believe these blocks are sleeved and I didnt know if it could be honed or not. If it will be almost as much as just getting a larger bore block I'll do that instead. Thanks.

Re: Rod and Piston Upgrade Brad, if the bore on your block is ok, leave it alone, and just get the diamond pistons made for a 6.125 rod. eagle h-beams, lunati, manley, oliver, ect are all good rods, just pick the one that best fits your goals/budget.
