Interesting insight as always. Thanks!
well if you stick with Off the shelf parts for pistons you have to stick with an off the shelf rod. The problem is no one really makes an FB25 rod it has a 48mm diameter vs the 52mm(if i recall correctly) and different width. so you cant use off the shelf FA20 rods on a FB25 crank. You could use off the shelf FB25 rods and FA pistons but I am not sure the wrist pin diameter is the same or in the same location. Then you run into the short rod scenario stated above. I mean if you want to limit your RPM to like 6200 you could go that route.
