I finally heard back from the machine shop. Block, crank and the head are good. So time to save up money and buy the rest of the parts. I am still a little confused about what cam to run. Also has anyone converted there jeep to lpg? I have not done the research on it but I know as of now it is about a dollar cheaper then gas. Plus out here in Phoenix You get to drive in the HOV lane if You have an alternative fuel.

Yes they'll work fine. Keep in mind that the actual rod length varies between 6.123"-6.127" depending on production tolerances. When you receive the rods, weigh each one and have them weight-balanced to the lightest rod after you've had the balance pads ground off the small ends to accept the IC944/945 pistons.
