looking for vouches for people who have gone this route. I'm rebuliding a GSR with an upgraded valve train , ITR cams and pistons. I have a spare LS bottom end laying around and was thinking of using the crank and rods. I'm aware of the squirter issue. Outside of that, what about longevity. i have been reading for days and can't get a solid answer on longevity.
I have to get this thing off the floor and to the machine shop in a couple of days. Without an answer I will leave it all GSR/ITR...but would like to go this hybrid route if it's worth it. It will be a daily run on Hondata so I would like the midrange bump from the b18A crank if it's a worthy setup. I may upgrade the cams and a few other things later but mainly it has no pie in the sky asperations. If at the end of the road I can wring 200 at the wheel out of it I'll be happy. Thanks in advance.
Oh yeah, and piston recommends with the LS version? I think that the P73's will be a little more compression than I'd like to hit on a daily if I use the LS crank...don't really want to to get too far away from mid 11's:1 Trying to keep it cheap and use OEM bottom end pieces except for the ARP stuff.
