I am in search of some forged pistons and rods for a 6.0L iron block bored .030 with the stock stroke. Which are the "best" and why? And what are these generally going for? I am looking for some that will be good for a n/a motor and then be able to take the beating of a super about 6 months down the line. Thanks.

 

I am going to be doing the same setup!
I believe that Diamond Pistons is
coming out with pistons for this exact combo!

I will have 6.0 liter pistons in about a week or so. I will have them available in +.030" and +.060". They will run $570.00 for the set with pins. Give me a call if I can be of any help.

Thanks,

What rods do you recommend for those pistons?

 

Eagle rods are not a bad option for low cost. I would most likely say to get them in a 6.125" or they even make the stock length, 6.100" rod. We wil have the pistons for either one of these rod lengths.

Thanks,
Chris

 

Where might I find a vendor who carries eagle rods and what difference will the rod length make?

 

I have a set of ROSS pistons on the shelf, 4.030 bore with a negative 15cc dome with a 1.300 compression height. With a 6.125 Eagle rod (which we can supply also) it will give you a negative .005" deck height roughly.
