fried, if you're wanting to do this for the cubic inches, the pistons are the same size, so you gain nothing there. I don't know exactly which of those parts will be compatible with your 1999 88. price is right. rods no pistons no cams no other parts, I believe yes. when you say intake, are you meaning the induction module is included?? mud . |

Mud, so if the pistons are the same size has the wrist pin location changed or have the rods changed?
Probably both don. I haven't compared either side by side. mud . |
Yep, the wrist pin location (height) is different. The heads and intake are the only parts you can use but both are an improvement over what you have. $500 is a decent deal but you need to spend another $500+ to make it worth-while.
I'd pass though and spend the $500 on mild head work and good cams. |

I'd pass though and spend the $500 on mild head work and good cams. rework the stock heads and buy cams to match etc etc. What's different on the 96 cylinders?? Be some issues using the FI on the originally carbed machine. mud . |
The big difference between the 88 and the 96 is the crank stroke. That is how the motor company used the same size jugs and pistons on the 96. You only need to change the jugs and pistons to get the 103 from the 96.

Thanks guy's. Think i'll take the advise and pass on them. Going to take a look at some cams. Any suggestions? Mild head work, you talking port and polish or something different. Any advise is greatly appriciated!
