A friend of my just bought a set of TRW forged pistons Off ebay, They are TRW-L2491F30. Here is the problem summit says they are for 5.7 rod Flatlander racing and says they are for 5.85 rod. Can anyone help me clear this up, And, or does TRW have a website that I can check.
Thanks

It depends on the application. They're designed to be run with 5.7" rods in a 383 application or you can run them in a 355 with 5.85" rods.
