Need new 5.3 rods
Need new 5.3 rods I'm building a 1000hp+ motor and I just got my heads and block back. Using 317 heads, 8.3:1 dish weisco pistons (floating ring) and I'm looking for some good strong rods. Are l33 and lm7 crankshafts the same? Probably different reluctor but could I use a k1 industry rod on the gen 3 which used the press fit?
It's hard to find the rod in 6.098 so will 6.1 work with a .51 head gasket?

The only press fit Aftermarket 6.100 rod with a .945 pin I have seen is the Scat I beams. The k1's are for .927 pins and the Scat and Eagle h beams are all for floating pins. Also the Scats are not available yet.

Sorry when you said 3 gen I thought you were talking about the press fit pistons. If you have .945 floating pins Scat SCA-66100945A or Eagle ESP-6100M3D2000 are the only 2 I have seen. I bought the eagle for my build because the Scats are a new product and they kept pushing the release date back.
