How much machining would be required to put these in a 1g 7bolt block? any? what is different between 1g 7bolt rods and 2g 7bolt rods?

and before you start screaming eagle rods or ross/wiseco pistons... this setup is stronger than stock for like a 300$ price tag... and stock is my other option ;) do you guys think this combo would be worth the money over stock rods and topline 1g pistons?
 
it will take lots of machining to get this to work becuase the 2g pistons use a pressfit pit setup and have no provisions for the spiral lock needed to hold the pins in. i would just get some wiseco's it will be less headaches in the future.
 
ok... SO what would be the best option for as cheap as possible with a 350awhp 1g 7bolt?

I'm getting a topline rebuild kit. so i'll have the 1g7bolt pistons with the kit. i've heard you can upgrade to the higher compression 2gs for like 30$.. would i be better of just leaving the stock rods and using the 1g 7.8:1 pistons?

on the large end (crank) what are the differences between 1g 7bolt, and 2g 7bolt rods????

Yes. Cheapest alternative and you don't have to worry about incompatibility between engine compentents.
