I wouldn't go for any ebay special conrods, it's not somewhere to skimp! I actually looked into these a few months ago, general verdict is that they are badly made items. If I were you I'd get a set of specialist components H beams.

Not much more expensive but definitely well made.

They look pretty much the same as the specialist components to me and the descriptions not far off. I would email sp and ask if they make them or are they from china?

lol the specialist components supply the apr bolts with theres but i believe they do make theres. 

 

will the sc ones be ok for a supercharged engine?

If in doubt visit any supplier claiming  to   manufacture  and  ask to see the machinery they make them on,

If you can buy arrow rods.

 

Ive seen these cheap H section rods on ebay and have been tempted they look the same as s/c to me.  this isnt a part of the engine you can skimp on and if they fail they do so in style   I can vouch for that.

thank you very much. im worried about this part of the build most. been watching video after video and rebuilding the box and block is scaring the crap out of me.

 

i will look into arrow rods. anywhere in particular that do a good set for supercharged engines? im not great with turbos and superchargers so it worries me what i need to put into the thing lol.

outstanding... i have decided to go down the specialist componants 16v twin cam k series head conversion.... it seems like it will be better for life span of the engine and the cost will be less in the long run. any opinions???

[MIGLIACARS]

how much is one of there s/c units

[Tamworthbay]

We need some research here, a set of the rods, old engine, big bucket of fuel and the throttle wide open. I would be wary of them personally as anything that critical needs to be well made. It's something where the reputation of the maker means a lot. Would love a set to test though.

Just under 3000 including the head and about 2500 if you supply your own. Gotta work out all the ins and outs of modifying the bulk because it fits but the manifold is scarily close to the bulk and if it burns into my 3000 pound paint job i wont be a happy chappy lol.

[MIGLIACARS]

That is just the kit though isnt it.

 

 

are u wanting to supercharge it
