Okay Gentlemen, I could use some more advice. I currently have a set of manley platinum pistons in the correct bore for this engine. I also have a set of Manley 300m material 6.125 connecting rods. Both of these sets of parts were assembled into a new engine, and then taken out.

I have been told various things about 300m rods. I know they are expensive to buy, but are they a good quality? I have been leaning towards Molnar rods as the crank I will be getting is a Molnar as well, but I thought I could save a few bucks and go with the Manley's.

Here is my math:

9.284 deck height

1.208 compression height pistons

6.125 rods

3.900 crank

410" at zero deck height.
