Need Rod, Piston and bearings I am getting ready to add forged rods and pistons to my shortblock. Anyone have any recommendations? Coated skirts and domes?

Re: Need Rod, Piston and bearings Here is what I leaning toward:
1) Diamond Forged pistons 3.905/6.125rods with teflow coated skirts
2) Eagle H beam rods 6.125
3) Diamond Pro-rings
4) Clevite Race bearings rods and mains
5) Comp 230/236 or 232/240 XER cam
How does that sound? Add anything?

Re: Need Rod, Piston and bearings Damn Phill, those nice times you ran last weekend aren't making you greedy are they? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Looks like you've got a good parts list so far for a strong, and affordable short block. I'd add head studs to your list if it were me. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Need Rod, Piston and bearings Bruce,
Naw not really greedy, just want the car to run right. I have a oil comsumption problem now and I can't run the proper lift cam for my heads due to flat tops without reliefs. I was planning on building the block over the winter but just got tied up with things around the house. I already have 12pt ARP studs. Called over and talked to Bill @ Advanced and he mentioned your car and that you were considering a shortblock this year or next. I'll probably have Bill install the new bearing and hone the cylinders. I just want to see exactly what this combo till do spun to the correct RPM with the correct lift cam shaft not a compromise.
