I am building a 347 but finding out that I have to use bushed rods on Keith black pistons. I was told pressed is better (less parts ) Any thoughts?
Thanks Chris

Naw. Bushed, floating rods are fine. Don't be afraid to use them. They will hold up fine and (may) even give you a bit more power do to less bind/drag/friction. Most racers use floating pistons. They work fine on the street, too.
