Just a quick question. Have anyone run a LS crank, LS rods, and custom pistons in a B16 block? As of in boosted application, I know there are people that do this in NA, but haven't heard of anyone running in boosted. Any problem do I have to look out for. And no, I don't want to run a deck plate either. Thanks

 

U would need a deck plate, would be far cheaper to just buy a LS bottm end.

He doesn't need a deck plate, the Tech43 setup runs LS crank/LS rods with a custom piston with an uber-high wristpin and it does work.

I feel if you want to use an LS crank in a B16 block the only way to fly is with B16 rods, with the LS rods your piston pin is totally intersecting the oil ring and all the tech43 built strokers were having oil control issues. If you think B16 rods + LS crank is a no-no, please consult sig

 

What?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't b16's rod longer than LS's rod??

Nosir, B16 rods are 5.290" long and the LS rods are 5.394" in length.

 

custom pistons would still be needed..correct?(for ls crank in b16 block with b16 rods)
