trw L2490 in a 302
I have some TRW L2490 Pistons for my 5.0.. i saw on another website where this guy used 289 rods with themfor his car also. i was wondering if anyone knows about using these pistons with my application. I know they are Chevy 350 Forged NHRA Pistons, and i would have to bore the pin ends of my rods to fit the piston pins in these chevy pistons, unless anyone else knows about some other rods that fit them and also my ford crank? just any help would be greatly appreciated. i am looking at pulling the motor our and rebuilding it sometime here in the near future. also.. what is the difference in the 289 rods to the 302 rods? are the 302's 1.5 and the 289's are 1.7? idk. help. lol
