ok i was reading on the post of the z6 posted by 4gsicivichatch, now i need to buy new rods for my engine, i was planing on doing the ls swap but dont want to go threw alot stuff and crap you know? so i'm just going to go with the d16a motor i already have just sitting around, i need new rods in it, could i just put the ls ones in it? or would it be better to get the crower or whatever other ones?

 

I would go crower.

 

crower? are eagle any good? and what are some good pistons? i want to add like pistons, rods, springs and all the stuff in at the same time, i was thinking cause i only need rods, all the money i can spend doin the b series swap i can just put into the motor i have you know? but it will probably take a while to come up with all the money. what else could you do to a motor besides the rod pistons, valve springs, retainers, piston rings? what more?

 

crower rods are awesome but pricey

eagle rods are a great budget rod and will be perfect for what you are looking for.

I would go with wiseco or je for the pistons.

You can have the block sleeved and bored, cams, port and polish the head, completely redo the bottom end, clena up the crank, thrust washers, bearings, etc. But all this stuff costs money as you obviously know. Good luck man
