Now if your budget is bigger, you can run a smaller rod (Honda)

i like the chevy head bolt pattern and rod and main size ..i still build bbc with stock rods and gm cranks stock 781 049 heads around here scat H beams and 4.250 + china cranks are not really budgets builds.i not getting picky with you but the last two callies cranks were not the same price as the scat s oh and just find a gm crank and turn the rods to 2.100
