#214902 Yes you can. That's the setup I'm going to be running in mine. But obviously ur going to have to use the LS rods and pistons as well. :)

#214910 You dont have to use the LS pistons. You can use most any B series piston. Besides the B20.

#215231 Nope. They only pistons that wont just slide on the LS rods are the ctr/itr pistons.

#215750 If they are the right style for the rod I guess they would go on just fine. I havent delt too much with aftermarket pistons.

#216184 you can put gsr pistons in the LS, but you still need to use the LS rods. LS, GSR and B16a all have different length rods to along with the different strokes they each have.

#216269 Put the LS head on the motor. all you are doing is swapping pistons. Though I dont think you really want to put CTR pistons in a LS. The pistons will stick out of the block and you will have a CR of 13.1:1. Stick with B16a pistons. or even ITR or GSR.
