But you can't use Eagle rods with stock 2G pistons. I think I paid about $180 to get a set of 1G rods mated to 2G pistons a few years ago.

True. I didn't catch the 2g piston part. I thought he was talking about a forced piston/1g big rod setup.

I was wondering if I was going to get criticism over this combo. This car isn't going to be a high horse power car. I am hoping to see 350hp, 400 at most which the stock internals on a 6 bolt motor can handle. This isn't going to be a high reving machine either. I still have to find a 4 bolt rear end for the car also.

I just want the higher compression on my daily driver. I think the higher compression will provide better responce and more torque before the boost kicks in. I will do the Eagle rods with wiseco pistons on another engine later. Right now I am on a very small budget with this car plus i have to get the head rebuilt.
These are the big rod that i have in the motor. I did think about buying aftermarket pistons just for reassurance but i think the money could be better spent somewhere else.
But roughly this will cost about $250-$300 with pistons, and new rings?

If anyone has some 2g pistons laying around PM me

Why would I get eagle rods when the piston would break first?
