The FRPP catolog has a crack that uses stock 351W rods with 302 pistons. I was wondering if anyone used this combo and how long it's been holding up.

Thanks

This is the setup I have in my motor, except the stock rods I used were shot peened, balanced and fitted with arp bolts.

I have not ran the engine more than break in runs and some tunning problems I had, but with the new Demon I have it should get me close to driving.

What kind of 302 pistons and heads are you running? Also do you know what the resultant compression ratio of your combination?

I purchased some stock dished pistons from the machine shop because with my setup compression was getting to high with a flat top.I have the stock 60cc 69 heads with a port and polish job.

The compression ratio was the biggest obstacle, being a stock 69 351W the compression ratio was 10.7 to 1 to start with. So with the increased stroke I had to compensate with dished pistons vs. flattops to keep it close to the same or near 11.
