Aftermarket pistons have a different pin design that stockers, so by the time you machine the stock rods to fit, you could just pony up another hundo or two and do it right. You just can't be cheap and do a 2.3 or 2.4, it's too easy to ruin your block and crank and they aren't cheap these days. Save your money and do it right.
