are there pistons or rods from another car that will work in my lxi?
if so, what kind of hp inrease are we talking about here>?

just asking because i had 4 supra pistons in my 240 and gained about 13hp from them, and it was fairly cheap

sorry man, but there no pisons that will fit from another car.
you can buy forged pistons made by diamond.

why would you want to adapt something when you can just order pistons and rod for A20.

with B18 rods you will loose power.

with B18 rods you will loose power.
Because of lower compression? (Shorter rod?)

Yea Sean talked about the using the B18 forged rods and you can use them but you will loose torque.
