It will depend on the rods. If you're doing a build like my design, the mitsu rods clear easily. As Shawn has shown.
I hope this works out well for you. As you know, I like the stroker vs bigger bore. I like that it works better with the engine design IMO.
Looking forward to how it compared. Obviously the 16v will change things a bit.

they killed the NA as a model after 1989 anyways.
probably to make interested buyers spend more on an S2.
by 1990 it wouldve been a really hard job to convince someone to spend $40k+ on a car with 162 hp...especially when a contemporary corvette was cheaper and had 50% more power.

I am pretty sure they run the standard Eagles Rods. The same size as the ones in the chart I sent to you. The Extreme Duty rods are quite s bit stronger and use the best hardware, ARP 625+. They are twice the price though and most likely not needed. They are rated for 1,200 HP much more than the Carillo standard rods, not sure about your custom units.

The higher-stroke cranks shouldn't have any clearance issues since the cranks' throws themselves aren't being extended, just offset-ground, but I could be missing something.
