ok i bought a 5.3 block and my plan is to bore it to stock ls1 and forge the bottom end except crank. and transfer everything from my ls1 into it. im looking for a low cost build so my question is and sorry for a dumb question but will this piston rod combo work ???
this will be a nitrous motor for the most part hoping for a 250 ish shot. itll have a vindicator cam and ls6 heads that i will probably port myself. ls6 intake mac midlengths cutouts. right now with stock 98 heads ls6 intake mac mids and vindicator its makin like 392. any help is much appreciated.

anyone>?

 

Why not put a set of 6.125 rods and mahle pistons in instead of the factory short rod stuff?

 

just becuase of the price i found the pistons for 375 and the rods are around 300? whats the advantage of having a rod thats .025 longer than stock? would it be worth twice the amount of money?

 

and would that piston rod combo work ?? i know some of the clearances are .001 off

 

it would work fine, if you dont buy the pistons, im going to put them in a 5.3 block i have and put it in my truck.
