Let me make a suggestion, try taking pictures with your phone but don't use the iphone photobucket photo app, then email the pics to yourself at either your shop or home computer which ever one it is, then down load the pics to photobucket from your computer. It's an extra stept, but you may save the time your wasting on the iphone app by going around it.

Thanks for the piston weight. 595gr. is not that bad, a TRW 427 piston weighs about 800gr.


I found the C4AE 6303 G cranks out of the High Riser had a 2,303.5 gr. bobweight, so Brent I would also be interested in what bobweight it took to balance out the crank your using.
I'll post the bobweight when I get it.

As for using BBC rod journals, we do it all the time, and the oil hole isn't the issue. The issue, is using a wider rod on an FE rod journal, as the journal has to be widened considerably. This can't be done on a crank grinder as it would make quick waste of the wheel, but it has to be done on a mill. Just gotta have access to the right crank guy...

I've used BBC rods on several factory cranks, and have even used SBC rods on some aftermarket cranks.
