198 rods/neon pistons need advice

charged225 said

Alright here's what I got, 72 duster 225 turbo charged with .833 4 speed.

I got a dead cylinder so I decided to finally put the 198 rods for modern pistons. I need rods, pistons, cam and a ball bearing turbo complete setup.

So what I'd appreciate from y'all bein the stupid 22 yr old who decided to get a duster with a six banger turbo it and beat all the novas (I know I used the n word I'm sorry); is a list of everything I need a detailed list of pretty much everything and where you guys think I can get the best price. Also making sure the rods match the pistons i.e floating or non floating pins n such.

Yes I see where your coming from, been there in my young gun days and built a couple of slant sixes....... Found in the long run for power it was cheaper to either start with a v-8 or do a v-8 swap. It's ultimately up to you but I'd use the opportunity to do a V-8 swap. And if you really want some fun turbo that baby up. However there is something good to be said about being different.....

Lol! To beat the novas........ Not sure how many you've run across but I bet they were the standard 250 six or the 350 v-8 ones..... In addition to my Mopars I have a 69 Nova SS with a 500 cubic inch big block stroker (455 block). It's pro-touring setup. I doubt you'd be able to keep up....... It's not all chevy though. The entire drivetrain is modified Pontiac GTO stuff. Couldn't bring myself to do a chevy 396 small block. At shows it confuses the chevy Guys as it looks like it's supposed to be there but all the accessories are on the opposite side including the fuel pump. The ones who do figure it out sometimes get angry and I just laugh.
