Which will be hung on these rods...
Scat H-beam connecting rods are the strongest Scat connecting rods available by Scat. These Scat H-beam connecting rods are perfect for supercharged and nitrous applications. These rods incorporate a special doweled cap for specific cap-to-rod alignment and are profiled with extra clearance for stroker applications. Forged 4340 material with ARP 7/16 8740 rod bolts make them very strong and affordable. H Beam rods with ARP 8740 Bolts are rated to 750 horsepower on small blocks and 850 on big blocks.

The new rod length and comp height on the new pistons will put the top of the piston at the same height as the OE pistons. The OE piston had a 18 cc dish and the new piston has a 14 cc dish so that along with maybe a touch of decking and cleanup on the heads might make for just a bump in compression ratio but not a big deal. Bottom end should be safe to 7,000 RPM, it'll be interesting to see how high the top end can go now.
The rods and rings are on their way to me already, the pistons have to be special cut because of a bore size change, JE said 3-4 weeks, CNC said 5 weeks... We'll see. Block is disassembled ready to clean. Builder won't start machine work on block until pistons are in hand to be sure it gets cut perfectly. He can get started freshening the heads up though.
Glad to have this decision making part out of the way, now just have to find the money to pay for it all and wait in parts jail for a bit.
