guys i'm planning on building a motor in the near future. what you think of my setup? gsr block and rods, ls crank, and a b16 head with pr3 pistons. just wonderin if anyone has done this and i'd like to see the link. its supposed to be around 12.45:1 compression.

 

dont mismatch the crank and rods. you want to use an ls crank, use ls rods.

 

and why is this?

 

They are different lengths

 

thats the point. its kinda like ls-v without the ls block. no positive deck height. just seeing if anyone had done this.

 

you cannot use gsr rods and a ls crank in a gsr block. you will need shot peen'd and ARP rob bolts in LS rods or aftermarket LS rods. there are better ways to increase compression.
I have a "GSR mini stroker" build myself. with carillo ls rods and CP pistons.
great build.

 

Do gsr rods on a ls crank and tell us the results if it was a good idea!

 

i just want a straight foward answer. why cant it be done? piston kills combustion chamber?

 

Thought I was clear and straight forward with my first post.*b20 crank and b18c rods will not work. The journal width of the crank and the big end of the rods do not match. Let's say you will have a oiling issue
