Well I found out stock standard are 139.5 mm and the other way I heard but don't know nothing about is using a 147 mm rod and buying a shorter piston, so I found that much out so far, I don't seem to have the best luck with getting answers. So I bought H beam rods 139.5 mm and they came with ARP 2000 bolts, still had some credit left so I ordered Wiseco forged pistons and they came with rings, awesome,very excited, machine shop said we got to do 0.5 mm over on bore so I ordered pistons to match. Still got to find a place for colored main bearings and std rod ,gasket kit and that wil keep me busy for a while getting that together. The head looks ok and the valves passed a water test on the bench so hopefully clean the valves and new stem seals ,be done with it,not sure if I want to porting it o not. well that's all I got for now on my engine rebuild.
