I am building an ls1 with forged pistons and I just ran across a set of Eagle H beam rods that are 6.125 long.....can I run these with a stock crank if I order for pistons 4 a 6.125 rod....

 

Yes you can run a 6.125 rod with proper piston..

Just make sure you balance your rotating assembly

 

And yes forgot to say stock crank will work perfect with those

 

Thanks for the info.....the eagle rod part # is crs-6125-bs and the piston is a mahl piston part # LS1314905f04......will these work with a stock crank ....thanks

 

correct, heres a link with the arp 2000 rod bolts

and heres those pistons you chose

they will both work with stock crank.. But just know that piston ^ is made of 4032 material not 2618..

alot of the professionals recommend 2618 since its a softer material and more forgiving when you add a power adder (nitrous, turbo, etc)

 

I will be running a 150 shot....I was originally going to stick with the stock pistons and rods and just throw my motor back together but I have hit every road block so I said screw it and I want to order rods and forged pistons...it made 568 to the wheels with the stock stuff...and I found a steal on the rods ...so I figured why not

yeah a forged rod/piston combo is good to have because when you want more power you don't have to worry about your bottom end..

 

I got it all ordered today...

 

what did you end up getting?

 

I got mahl pistons and those eagle h beams...should be here Tuesday then I take it all to the machine shop to get my cylinders honed, crank polished, and get the rotating assay balanced

 

I am ready to here this thing run again!!!!

 

nice, goodluck with your build... post up some photos when your done...

 

I will do it thanks for the info....that's why I like this forum...just a bunch of car freaks help in each other out....thanks again

 

yea usually, stuff gets outta hands sometimes also.. But just remember this is the ''internet" and half the things you hear are wrong lol

you just have to back it up with some research on your part too ya know!

 

Yessir...I basically just wanted a second opinion before I bought every thing...just to be 110% sure

 

I do appreciate all of your info!!
