YOUNG GUNS15
Im AWESOME!!!!
Bingo. I run a 8.2" rod on a standard deck height. At 4.4" bore it clears nicely with a 5" stroke with plenty of clearance
So what in the world does this motor belong to? Sounds awesome

Using 8" rods would put you at 1.6:1, the same as a stock 5.9. Getting pistons made with that pin height would be no big deal, or if you have enough top ring land, a deck spacer would work also.
...and the typical deckplate build nets a 1.75 ratio, closer to optimal. Some of the best engineered engines in the world with the highest hp/ci ratio run closer to 2:1. I understand what is trying to be accomplished, I'm just looking at it from an all out performance and longevity standpoint.
Deckplate blocks still on track for production?3d printed sand keeps breaking before molds are assembled.
We are now moving forward with just a deckplate cast in version and a second version with .080 thicker cylinder walls but with .080" thinner outside block walls.
