or use vauxhall pistons on the std rods and dont use a decomp plate?
good luck with what your doing tho!! its always good to be inventive yourself

yeah i have been uhming and ahing about what to do, i ahve got a decomp plate lined up at 40-50, i already had the head gaskets before the build.. are the vauxhal pistons the same size? if so what motor do they come from.? how much would i get them for etc..
