Specs check for build. Ok fellas I'm in the process of collecting parts for my motor and am looking at rod/pistons combos. They will be hung on a stock LS1 crank w/ clevite bearings. It will be a overbuilt lightweight assembly for high revving should i get into Open road racing like i would like to. It will be sprayed occasionally (150 shot MAX).
Mahle forged 346 pistons (stock size replacements)
stock 3.898" bore
stock 3.622 stroke .
stock 6.098" Rod Length
-4cc dome volume
standard .945" wrist pin
Scat forged I-beam rods (Pressed)
6.100 length
2.100" wrist pin, .944" Wrist Pin
OR
Scat Forged I-beam rods (bushed)
6.100 length
2.100” Wrist Pin, .927" Wrist Pin
Main questions:
Which would work better? (Bushed vs. Pressed)
Any clearance issues with the rod being slightly longer? (6.098 vs. 6.100)
Which rod is a better choice for my build?
