turbo tuff rods in 2.3L setup

would it be a wise choice to use manley turbo tuff rods (heavy not light wieght version ) in a 2.3L stroker setup? Also do these have clearance issues with the 2.3. I removed my eagle H beam rods which were lighter with no clearance issues . with the manleys test fitted they seem to be touching the block slightly...which isnt good.

what rods are recommended for a 2.3 setup that will see 30PSI of boost and be drag raced

Need to clearance the block for turbo tuff tuff rods on a 100mm crank.


For drag racing, a 94mm crank is recommended.

You're going to have to notch the bottom of the cylinder walls so the A beams have clearance. Otherwise, you will be hitting the bottom of those cylinder walls. If you want something more of a drop in, you would have to get the I beam version, which are the lightweight ones.

2.3 with heavy rods for drag doesn't go together, although it will work it won't be as reliable and won't trap as fast or be as quick as 2L.
The Oem evo 8/9 crank 88mm would be the weapon of choice it can rev past 11K on a drag setup.
