Forged rod recomendation...
Thanks 64post, I going to use exactly what you suggested, I appreciate the input.
Funny story about the pistons...I met this guy at a car show...he has a bitchin' Mazda RX7 turbo Ls conversion. (He's a member on here, rotary1307cc) I go over and chat him up...(this is a typical "Midwest" car show, tons of muscle cars...ricers not so much)
To me, his car stood out head and shoulders above anything there as far as technology and H.P. went...anyway, I bugged him about his combo for over an hour, I explain how bitchin' I think his ride is and that I'm a cheap *** and try to do everything on a "low-buck, no-buck" approach...he makes a lot of his own parts, so he's of the same mind set...
Anyway...long story long...we go our separate ways. This was July. About Dec I see on here in his thread...https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...70-tc78-2.html he's updating to the "LSX" block...I PM him about any left over parts...he gets right back and says I can have the pistons. I offer to pay...he says no, "I know you'll put them to good use, Merry Christmas".
Yeah...I haven't found these for under $600.00 yet...
I'll make it right with him someday...when I figure out how...
