ls rods question?

i friend is selling a used set of ls rods mated to some usdm itr slugs on arp rod bolts already put together but needs new rings, he said i'll get higher compression due to the ls rods being longer, what i want to know has anybody ever put this on a gsr crank since i have a b18c in need of a rebuild, thanks and i did tried searching already with no luck

Yes you must use the LS crank if you plan to use LS rods

Re: ls rods question? (BumpinVTEC)

Your asking for a disaster if you mix rods and cranks, the piston to deck height will be all out of wack and so will be the rod/stroke ratio. Use GSR rods w/ GSR crank and LS rods w/LS crank. LS cranks are cheap and shouldn't be too hard to find.
