Hi guy's, I currently have a 455 that's set up with eagle press fit rods and trw forged pistons, But after tearing it down the other day I have found some fairly deep scratches in the cylinder walls, Soooo It looks like it is time for an overbore and new pistons. I have been thinking of getting some srp forged units that I have seen for a reasonable price but I believe they are for a floating pin setup, So my question is can my Eagle press fit rods be modified to work with these pistons and if so what is involved? Also what is the general opinion on the Kieth Black hypereutectic slugs? They seem to be about half the price of the srp's. The engine should make around the 400-450hp range and will mostly be used in roadracing and some street use.
