pistons and rod search? destroke
pistons and rod search? destroke I'm looking for a piston and rod setup for a 3.185 stroke ls2. I was wondering if this is even possible. I'm just curious. I know a ls1 with that stroke is more possible but I can't seem to find anything for the ls2. Where would I look for these parts?
a stock length rod with a 1.555 CH piston will put you at .0055 out of the hole. should be about perfect. or if your going with an aftermarket rod, a 1.53 CH piston will net you .0075 out of the hole. that is pretty good as well.
either way, your going to have a custom piston.

You may be better off with a custom rod instead. You could find a cheaper shelf piston with a smaller compression height and less weight. If it's going to spend a lot of time at higher RPM, the weight would be a pretty big deal.
Then just order a custom set of rods from Callies/Oliver/etc to whatever rod length fits, and even smaller big ends (Honda or Aurora journal sizes).

It's really about how much work you are willing to do this, or how much you are willing to pay someone else to do it, it's just not one of those slap together deals like a lot of combos.
The pin is a 1.850". Where would I find a rod and piston setup used? I'd rather not cough up $2500 for rods. Its going to be a road racer and a daily driver but I haven't accepted the cost yet.
Would something like these work? Could someone explain the other numbers on here for me. I understand most of it but a few confuse me.
