ok so i know im getting the eagle rods but i have no clue what pistons to get and were to get them also trying to figure out what rod length to go with

Strange, on the colt and other cams I saw an engraving on the cam near the distributor key slot or the cam gear slot or was it my imagination that there were engravings... I don't have my cam to double check, Shep has mine.

its a colt : and its labeld as a 4cyl 8 valve sohc to 1983 on the colt website
but if it was an 8v it would only have 2 lobes right i went out and matched it to my stock one it looked about the same
so wuts up with the cam?

Are you going to weld those weber adapter plates together and then to the intake manifold... a vacuum leak will hurt performance and tuning bad, so you might as well eliminate the potential for one while you can. It will also allow you to port the plates more if you wanted. Also don't run too thick a gasket paper or it can lead to warping of the carb base and plates.

well its a colt not a delta and its labeled as a 8v sohc cam
oh...only colt i would get would be the triflow

lol no shit lol but the markings oin the cam are of a 8v but it matches my stock one so the markings would be wrong cause the 8v only has 2 lobs per cyl vs the 12v with 3 per cyl
24valve v8? maybe the marking are just wrong cuz the cam does not look wrong. i have one but its just an lx-i one

Well you have 12 lobes so you at least know it's for a 12 valve.

ya thats 3 valves per cyl on a v8 lol, im still wondering about the piston thing can i use like b series pistons or is that only for the rods
Unless it's for a CVCC then it would have 12 lobes right? But it looks like the right camshaft though seems weird that they got codes wrong, think you might have to get it measured to make sure you got something suitable, if it's a tri flow oh well good find if it's just a normal regrind we still be perfectly good, personally not a fan of the triflow but i can see how in theory it should be better but i prefer all my valves opening up at the same time for as long and as far as possible and leaving the fuel and air mixing down to the fueling system and head.

bump some one mentioned forged pistons i need something high performance but that will pass smog
anyone else have an idea i need to find out how much to save for pistons
so i was told about this company that does custom work that is supposed to be big with the d series guys http://www.importperformanceparts.net/ i emailed and asked about a set of 10 to 1 pistons also asked about connection rods here is the answer i gotso is his a good deal or noPistons$459 a set with pins,the only rods would be billets$699 a set with the pistons.
I Know Where U Live Geddy!
and
Sounds good to me especially if thats custom made!!
Set of forged pistons JE about $5-600 set of cheap ass eagle rods is $300 but Crower or Pauter will be $600
So sounds about right if you wanna be cheap then get the eagles and have this guy make the pistons to fit those, also see if he can do you pistons with just 3 valve reliefs so that you can run higher CR ratio, 10:1 is a bit low not much better than stock, you can go for at least 11:1 on pump gas even as high as 12:1 if you get flepro gasket but if your worried about gaskets then 11:1 should be fine with felpro will last 100k miles. Higher the CR ratio the more power you'll get from N/A engine.
the lower the cr the longer it last right lol
i think im gonna go eagle for mine, they come with 3/8" arp 2000 bolts in them now

i think im just gona use stock rods its not like im gona be racing it much lol
