I have Eagle rods for my 2.2 G5 and Wiseco 8.9:1 pistons... My head has been shaved down, ported and polished... However, I havent installed the rods and pistons yet and havent tried with the freshly shaved head, so i cant vouche for the shaved head helping with a CR raise... I do plan on boosting... But, does anyone know of anyone that has installed the Eagle rods into the l61, i want to know if the rods fit right in, or if i have to shaved the crank...

looking to do internals very soon. It's just a shame there isn't a competitor for rods and pistons cause then we might be able to get better deals this just seems a little pricey for parts but I know I am still going to do it regardless..

are both of the rods the same specs or close enough that both will work with any of those pistons mentioned because I am aware diameter is one part of the equation if you don't have the right piston for connecting rod wrist pins don't work. I have read that the eagle rod is rated beyond 700 hp and that's good enough but for hunks of metal that aren't machined I don't understand how these rods are as much as pistons basically.
thanks for the help guys time for some shopping

Id drop down to 9.5.1.
Replacing pistons and rods isnt hard. I could knock it out in a weekend. I did mine, granted it took longer cuz I was ordering parts as i went.
-ARP Headstuds
-Headgasket
-Assembly Lube
-Connecting Rod Bolts (I think they come with the rods)
-Crank Bolt
-Cam Bolts
-Timing cover gasket
-Sealant for the oil pan
-Pistons
-Connecting rods
-Rod Bearings
Thats all i can think of atm.
