Connecting rods Im going to be getting new connecting rods but just wondering what would have to be changed, if anything going from a 6.098 stroke to a 6.125? Everything will be forged, new heads and everything else but wasnt sure about the rod length difference.
THANKS!!
THANKS!!
Well, that's gonna be a pretty huge stroked LS engine!
OK, you mean rod length. You'll need pistons that'll accommodate the longer rod with a higher pin bore.
I'd suggest you get a piston & rod package. It'll include the needed rings, pins, locks and bearings.

Haha! ya I meant rod length, not paying attention. Ok so I looked at some pistons and rods. The pin diameter of the pistons are .927"
Here are the rod specs for the pin diameter:
Rod Journal Diameter (in): 2.100 in.
Big End Bore Diameter (in): 2.2250 in.
Pin End Bore Diameter: 0.927 in.
Big End Width (in): 0.940 in.
Pin End Width (in): 1.010 in.
will these rods work? Im not sure what the big end width and pin end width are so thats why I am asking.

If they're LS rods, they'll work. It's the pistons that need to change. To have a longer rod, the piston pin sits higher towards the top.
Is this all going onto a stock crank?
