Rod question (cup motor rods) I have a pretty good set of carrillo rods laying around the shop out of a cup motor and i was wondering what it would take to run them in a ls based motor.
rod specs for these carrillo's are: Length: 6.125" - Width: .775 - Wrist pin: .928 - Pin end width: 1.010" - Rod housing size: 2.125" and Crank Journal: 2"
what would it take to run these rods in a ls based motor...what would need to be done to make that happen. thanks!!

those are probably honda size journals. so all you need is a custom crank and some custom lightweight pistons and your ready to rev to the moon. Is this all worth it probably not seeing as most bottoms ends have no problem spinning 8k if its a decent forged set.

I'm sure they could cut the crank down but you would have to get some good advice from a reputable shop that naybe deals more with that style motor because that could be expensive to do once u figure in all the balancing required to make that work if its even possible to maintain strength while grinding that much off the journal.
