I'll Conact Bill tonight. My Turbo Guy likes the Hyper's over the forged ones anyway. We'll only be running 10psi boost, and it is a street car. Not a race engine.
As for the stock rods, i was silly enough to sell to some Kat building up a Cadillac, and he don't wanna sell 'em back. and yes I do like the look of these H Beams!
I priced machining the TRW's, but it was more expensive than the original pistons, so I figure i'll sell the trw's, buy the Kb's. They sit lower in the block, and it'll be a much happier turbo engine.
Goes without sayin', i have a set of TRW's if anyone needs them.
Oldsmobubbles are pretty rare over here, otherwise I'd keep them for another 455 build.
