Going back some 6 or 8 years ago (i can't find the thread) there was some discussion of using and SBC piston WITH somekind of custom made rods.

I don't recall the entire analysis but IIRC the cost of the rods + cheap SBC pistons was about equal to a new set of custom forged pistons for packard.

Bottom line:
There might be some up-front expense for custom made rods, but would allow for cheapfuture replacement of pistons (SBC).
