Thanks for your reply!
So the engine you built is only used at the drag strip? or on the street also?
I was also wondering if someone made a taller piston maybe with a shorter rod??? for a better durabilty /longlife of the engine? Or is that a bad idea?



you can get anything you want made . a taller piston is a piece of cake , talk to someone that builds engines like you are interested in and have a piston and rod combo speced.

another thing to consider is compression ratio , you need to decide what fuel you want to use and what cylinder head so the piston can be speced accordingly , i'll assume you want a pump gas friendly combo , expect a piston with a D shaped dish , Diamond has shelf stock pistons that may fit the bill and is you want a taller piston for a samll upcharge they can chamnge the compression height to work with a specific rod , which will probably something based off a big block chevy derivative so you'll need a crank with a 2.2 rod journal .
