I started this post on the rods I picked up, I'll post the top points here.
BBC Rods with .927" Piston Pins Here are the spec's on the rods:
6.500 CTOC
2.325 BE BORE
.900 BE WIDTH
.927 PE BORE
.900 PE WIDTH
CENTER BEARINGS
GRAM WEIGHTS: 577 / 257
I decided to go with a SCAT 4.125" stroker with BBC jrl's to use the Crower rods making it 468 ci's.
I was talking to Blair and it was suggested I have two rods opened up to take .990" pins and he could probably find a couple of pistons with .990" pins I could borrow for mock-up purposes, then afterwards have my rods bushed back to .927" pins.
I did some math, and after I bushed the rods to .990" then back to .927" and shipping both ways for the borrowed pistons, it started to add up, so I found on Ebay believe it or not, a set of SB2 4.250" bore JE pistons that use 2.250-.927" pins, I look thru my pin stash looking for a set of 2.950" pins I know I have, and find a partial set of 2.250/.927" pins, so I grabbed the pistons for $65 bucks.
The pistons arrived over a week ago, and I went and picked up my SCAT crank today, I ended up getting one of their 4340 forged cranks, it says "PRO STOCK" STYLE, so does that make me a Pro Stocker Now...
So anyways, 2.200" dia, 2.008" wide and a .125" jrl radius, I ordered the crank last week, but they had to clearance the counterweights for a 6.5" rods.
