The V8 small block rods are too narrow. .094 vs 1.030. Using stock parts I'm pretty much stuck with 181 5.7" rods. Tlowe has some very nice 250 flat tops from Ross that are .010 to .011 too tall. I could work with that because the top land is extra thick but my original plan was to use cheap off the shelf components. I don't need forged pistons for this engine. I just want to get to 9 to 9.5 to 1 CR.
