texas speed, thunder racing.
je, mahle, diamond, & probe all make pistons for gen 3 engines. one's for stock lenght rods are slim. I have an entire balanced 6.0 rotating assembly that may be for sale soon. I will have to buy 1 diamond piston to replace the 1 which is gaulded. They are diamond # 11514. LQ9 rods with ARP bolts.

No problem as long as you get the 6.125 rod.

I bought mine through CMS

Just make sure to double check every spec and make sure they all match. And make sure you measure every part when you get it. -Don't ask me how I know.

Yes,

When I put in my rods and pistons, they had to add a ton of weight to get it to balance.

It isn't all that much to balance. I think mine was $160

It isn't fun to pay for all of the little things, but you really don't have much choice for some of it.

The 6.098 rods use a .945" wrist pin and the 6.125 sbc rods use a .927 pin so no, you can't interchange pistons.
