Hey Everyone, I come from the import industry and I have connections with several manufacturers. I can send off to have aftermarket rods and pistons made for our motors. This would be a huge upgrade for the FI members of the community. Significantly cheaper than a V8 swap and the ability to make more power for the same $$$.
Right now I have already talked to a few manufacturers and they can make the rods and pistons. Retail we would be looking at somewhere in the $1500-$1800 range for rods and pistons. assembling your short short block would be ~$1000 or less. outside of the pulling of the motor and reinstalling. All in you would be looking at about ~$5k. That forged internals would then give you the ability to push the V6 up past 600whp without issue. another option I have at my disposal is to convert the block to a closed deck. this would provide a more stable cylinder wall and protect the head gasket.
So how many people would be interested? If you have questions I should be able to answer them.
Right now I am looking at just doing an OEM replacement but if people want a lower compression piston that can be arranged. This would allow for more flexibility in fuel options. i.e.89/91octane in a boosted application.
