I thought they could. You just can't mix and match rods and pistons as they have different rod lengths / comp heights.
Have i got this right?
thats what i have done but could not get the compression ratio any lower then 8:4:1 so ended up having to use a de-comp plate
What pistons and rods did you use? Eagle and JE?
I'm going for Eagle rods, but I've found some pistons that are lower CR than the JEs so might be ok. Mind you I reckon with carefull mapping i could get 300 bhp on 8.5:1 which is enough for me!
