Carillo rods, Maule 225TT pistons, Shock compression and size pistons. Its basiclly a stock block rebuilt with beefed up bottom end. I want to run a gt3071 on it and what ever else it takes to get me to around 400WHP

if your running 225 pistons you dropped to 9:1 compression. If nothing was wrong with your stock pistons you should of just got some IE 19mm wrist pin rods. $320 shipped And would still be able to handle whatever you are going to throw at it

Yeah I thought about just throwing rods and pistons in the engine thats in the car but I just wanted to start fresh. I also just want to do it in one shot creating less down time for my car. Ill just build it outside of the car and when its ready It will be down just one or two days for the swap insted of a few days for the pistons and rods, a day for a clutch upgrade, a day for the head and so on
