Yes. I am compounding the truck, and a new cam grind which is going to throw a crap ton more power down low, where I was avoiding making it currently to save the rods.

I will either do a bed plate, or a girdle, yes.

made of 4340, 1/2" H11 bolts.

The price on custom pistons killed what I was willing to spend for me... So I'll be using a solid 28mm pin.
