Need to purchase new forged pistons and h beam rods. Paul at BTM is not dealing those products so that is no longer an option. Any suppliers? Thanks Larry
 
You can purchase a set of 8 351 windsor rods..Check around maybe even Ebay..Then just get a sustom piston set from JE. Ross Or diamond.....Youll have two extra rods but its cheaper then buyin 6:O)
 
I bought a set from suprcat fast delivery and car runs great. Just need to find the right bearings. I have custon Diamond pistons and I uped my compression to 8.5. Car runs very strong with 5% pulley

bearings...

I used 351W bearings, work just fine. Just make sure to plastigauge and get the correct clearance.
 
Tim/Mark,
thoughts on 8.5:1? Here in Las vegas we get CA fuel which is 91 octane at best. Any ping issue at 8.5:1? Larry
 
compression

My car is at 9:1, but I use nothing but 93-94 octane. I'd recommend keeping it somewhere around 8:1 to 8.5:1. I'm sure you will have it tuned or use eec tuner which can take care of any timing/ping issues.
