Well after searching online for my answer ive gotten myself confused, so i want to see what everyone on here says....I am using a 5sfe crankshaft for an upcoming engine build. My question comes in at, would i have to use a 5sfe rod/3sgte piston combo, or could i get away with using 3sgte rods and pistons. I remember reading somewhere that there is a company that makes 3sgte rods to fit the 5sfe crank. Anyone mind shedding some light on the topic?
Also, are there any other variables with using a 5sfe crank in a 3sgte block that i should be aware of? -------------------- (\__/)

Well thanks for the input again. Thats why im glad i asked for more opinions on the matter. So the 3sgte crank is also forged? Thats good to know. But DEATH could you elaborate on how a stroked 3sgte ( to 2.1) would be more expensive to do using a 5s crank versus buying an Off the shelf stroker kit? Btw, i was comparing to an off the shelf kit when i used the word "cheap". But you might know something that i might miss...
