Press Fit vs. Full Floating Wrist Pins

racerdude5 said
So here's the question. Full floating or pressed fit for 6500 rpm 318 at about 400 HP? Which forging? Magnum vs pre-73 273/318 vs pre-73 340 vs post-73? I'm on a budget so it's crucial to keep cost to a minimum but I still want the best that I can get for the money.

I can't think of a reason why you would even bother with a press fit rod and piston. Buy an aftermarket Rod, get a stronger, lighter Rod with 7/16 cap screws instead of 3/8 bolts and the rods will already have the bushings installed.
