Re: A few 6 bolt questions!

You can't just run any off the shelf aftermarket piston with the stock rods. Most pistons are designed with a full-floating pin. You would have to custom order pistons with a tapered or press-fit pin for your application.

Who knows if the 1G big rods or stock pistons will go first. RPMs will probably kill them before horsepower.

The downside of running a stock cast rod is the required use of special pistons, and the rods probably aren't as strong as aftermarket rods. With how inexpensive Eagle rods are, you might as well save up for a set of them before building a motor.

Main studs are not really needed. They are require a fair amount more machining to be uses correctly. A new set of stock main bolts will hold just about anything that you throw at them.
