Back in April I paid a local speedshop $217,,,, $58 to R&R rods $ pistons,$50 ARP bolts,$96 to resize the rod ends. Thats not bad,,,but on this next motor I'm building,,,BigRedTrucker makes alot of sense in what he said,,,I can get a set of new I-beam for under $200,,,or H-beam rods for $270.And since the pistons are not on rods now the R&R cost will be lower.
I have always re-used my old rods but this motor will be pushing 480-500 HP,,,what do you guys suggest for a good set of rods for this HP? Cat,Scat,Eagle,etc.,,,,?
