You need to machine clip groves into oem pistons for them to use a floating style rod like an eagle. I wouldn't bother, a set of ls rods with arp bolts will hold 9k rpms and be plenty durable. Make sure you have a machine shop install the arp's and have them re-size the big end of the rod. Should cost about $40 for the arp's and another $40-60 to have the bolts installed and the rods re-sized. So put that extra $200 you saved towards something else. Also b16a pistons in an lsvtec give you right around 11.5:1 compression which is about perfect for a street car in Florida.
well the reason im using eagle rods is im going to spray on it, i have an ls head that im thinking about using that has work done, (titanium retainers, and dual valve springs, and the ctr pistons for the compression ofcoarse, i would feel safer using eagle rods on spray then stock ls rods on arp bolts. eagle rods already ready have the arp bolts already on em
