I will be purchasing a Lunati CJ117 crank from a local guy and wanted to know what rods and pistons were recomended for it. I will be running the LE3 heads/cam with this.thanks

What's your budget?
Any power adders in the future?
For an inexpensive setup I'd go with Scat I-beams (ARP 2000 bolts) and an SRP piston. If you want to save a little more money on that, go with a KB hyper piston.
If you want to spend a little more, I'd go with a Howards I-beam and a piston from JE, CP or BME.

Re: need your suggestion on rods
Also depends on the CR and what you want to run.... The LT1 castings are going to need a slight dish piston on a 383 so anything from a -16cc SRP, -11cc Lunati or a -12 or -9cc Ross would work well.
Mindgame knows his stuff...... The Scats or a set of Eagle H Beams would be the most bang for the buck.
