le2 bottom end setup
I've got 5.7" SIR eagle rods and a stock crank, going NA. I'm going with the LE2 package from lloyd and was wondering what pistons would work well. I was looking at SRP's or Mahle's looking to get around 10.8-11.5:1 compression. I can find the pistons from srp part number 138081 but i can't find mahle pistons that would work. Also does anyone know the combustion chamber size of le2 heads so i can figure out the compression ratio's for pistons? And does anyone know which mahle pistons would work? Thanks.

Re: le2 bottom end setup
I would think that the CC's of the LE2 heads would be in the neighborhood of 55-57cc's. Are you having the block decked as well? This affects your computations for you compression ratio. I would go with Mahle over SRP for simple fact that they cost the same and come coated. I believe the part number for the Mahle piston you are looking for is SBC550030F05.
