| Connecting Rods and Piston Choices for 428CJ |
| By Bob Zink - 11/07/2000 2:57:00 PM; IP 198.140.4.13 |
| I am rebuilding my 428CJ to be used mainly as a street cruiser, but may drag race it once per year. Since I do drive the car hard occassionally, I am considering Eagle Rods and a forged piston. The Eagle Rod weighs 810 grams versus the 762-774 of the stock 428CJ rod. Do I need to use a lightweight piston to allow proper balance with my 10/10 1U crankshaft? I spoke to Eagle and they suggest Wiseco or Ross pistons which cost between $80-$100 each. I would rather save some money and use the TRW's for around $50 each. What is the weight of the stock, cast CJ piston used to balance with the 774 gram rod? I plan to use the stock CJ heads & intake with a stock grind hydraulic cam. |
