LOLOL I know bo, yesterday I was handed a ton of info, so it kinda got slapped up
the rod is the same rod almost all viper builders use, capable of any hp you thro at it.
forget the chevy thing for a moment
the rod is a stock shelf rod for oliver, the crank would need to be turned to a 2100 spec, with doing that you open yourself to tons of differnt options for bearings. That way you are not stuck with one style viper oem bearing.
your choices improve greatly.Plus you will be truing the crank anyway , and doing this you are guarenteed a straight crank. And then balance the assembly
It does not compromise the crank whatsovever
the pin size is .927 , again off the shelf part, that way parts , pistons are all readily available if any such need arizes.
for the $2600 you get the rods, and pistons, the pistons will be cut to your order, meaning if you want stock bore, 5 thousands over or 10 over.
with the .927 pin size , you again are off the shelf part, that JE keeps and would only have to cut to your specs.
the extra parts needed, will be ringset, which i will be able to get for NOS, turbo, or superchargers. they are in the $200 area
coating of the pistons are $20 for the skirt, $24 for the cap, this reduces friction, and reduces wear on the piston and the bore.
i think i can find a builder, i think , In oregon, will have to check on that for ya sir
Please ask any questions, if i dont have it in front of me , i will find it for you
