connecting rod/piston compatibility

[Dominic_Uliano]

I want an mild performance road engine, which I am just starting to collect parts for and I was wondering if there is any problem with using MG connecting rods AEG625 with a higher performance piston such as the Cooper S Hepolite with a +20 overbore.

I've rebuilt completely stock engines before but never with a mix/match of pistons and connecting rods.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Dominic,
I rebuilt my 1275 engine with its stock rods, but high performance persons. Just watch the total height of the piston which will affect the compression ratio.

Thanks Bruce, that's good advice
