Nope 3.5's with 14's. Been in a few cars with same drivetrain, and was recently in a car just like yours with a stroker clev, toppie and 3.5's and was sitting on 3500rpm at 60 MPH. Speedo was correct, within 2 MPH of the GPS Sat Nav.

I used Kenco Degreeser, Prepsol, Stinking hot soapy water, and a high pressure water blaster. I love that kenco degreeser, magic stuff.

Yeah they will work fine.
To me though, i reckon a couple hundred bucks extra for some forged pistons is worth it for confidence sake. |
