Thread: piston and rod questions

this is true... so you would actually be losing compression while increasing stroke and also increasing cylinder volume.... great if you're planning on adding a super charger

thats what i was afraid of.. the stock length setup is typically .040 in the hole on a stock block..that means my new stuff would be .140 in the hole which is a good recipe for detonation. i think i will go with the BBC 6.900 rod and that will cure that problem. i paid 300.00 for a brand new set of pistons that retail for nearly 1000.00 so i'm not to broken hearted

if you happen to come across another super deal like that on some small block ford pistons let me know.... i'm replacing my bottom end right now due to a nice little mess of spun bearings and twisted/snapped rods
