Is an aftermarket rod available for the GMC engine (I assume you mean the 302?) I would be much more comfortable With a forged piston and a billet rod to be honest lol Less weight and strain on the crank but then again most modern high performance engines have some sort of piston squirter. Down side being the Packard rods are every bit of 8.500 inches long so it would be a pretty custom set up. I am a fan of a strong bottom end (piston, rods, main studs, main girdle, ect) and it will leave me room to grow should I want to turn up the boost at a later date.
Have a feeling this will be a drawn out process to get the engine to its final conclusion and again thanks for the ideas and info.
