if you use any crank and rod combo but LS, it defeats the purpose of using an LS bottom end. you must use LS rods and LS crank, you cant mix and match. whatever crank you use, you need matching rods.
i would go with b16a (PR3) pistons for a streetable c/r
you can use OEM gs-r/ITR main girdle but keep in mind, with this you need to use a gs-r/ITR oil pan. you would also want to use a gs-r oil pickup and windage tray along with a gs-r/itr oil pump. thats just precautionary stuff. you can usually find all of this stuff in one sweep on ebay.
