Hi all - need some tips for this build. Im so far seeing the baby LT1 rods will make up for the reduced 3" stroke - another option is a 6" chevy rod are there ones that would fit the small journal 283?
So technically: small journal forged 283 crank, baby LT1 rods and sbc pistons with available compression heights shd get me in the ball park of an 11:1?
These seem like they would fit the bill - the 6 inch rod from the 5.7 is about as close as the destroke from 3.25 to 3.0 - i can adjust that with pin heights etc if need be
