    pistons/rods

    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

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

    with B18 rods you will loose power.

    Because of lower compression? (Shorter rod?)
