Uses longer rod with pin higher up the piston, its either this or a will have to go stroker crank rods and pistons

Minorv8 (Jukka) contacted Paul about his kit.
Rods are standard rover width and not narrowed like TVR rods.
I think this kit is made for later LJ TVR 500 cranks.

My engine is a tvr motor, but it broke a piston so wanna go forged anyway. Just dont like the stupid short rod length and pin half way down the piston on a long stroke engine. Mine is the 2.3 small jounal crank.

A while ago I built a short block 4.6 using Mustang modular overbore flat tops, made by Manley, they cost about £250 + rings, they use the same bore as the stock 4.6 and the pin sizes are slightly smaller so I had my rods bronze bushed. all seemed to work ok, you would need to check crown heights
