With this I can use the same converter in the car as well as the other experimental 6 cylinder converters Billy has tried over the years.

Not sure about Chevys but the aftermarket rods for a 383-440 weigh more than the stock ones and (legal) replacement pistons for BBM are still 900 + grams with pins.
