Default Converting form stock to floating wrist pins

I wanna get forged pistons put on my stock LS rods.I figure with a good tune i can get 400 on just forged pistons.

What needs to be done to the rods to be floating, is it a simple bore/honing or is there a big process?

I like stock Honda parts.Im keeping the whole thing stock except for the pistons.Its cool making power on a low budget.

Just buy rods, no reason to tear motor down for only pistons. Or do only pistols and throw a rod through your block, do what you think is best.

yea for how cheap rods are there really isn't a reason to skimp out on them. You'll be happy you decided to wait the exta week or 2 to get the money for the rods also...

besides you don't wanna pull the thing apart twice do you?
