hey guys im building a forged 6.0 block,
i wanted to keep the stock bore, but we had to hone it to a 4.005
so im ordering the wiseco k398x05
keeping the stock crank of 3.622



i wanted to know what other options i have in connecting rods, i was looking at the wiseco, but damm another 700 on rods is a little to much..


are the scat rods realiable??
and does the 100$ difference on bolts make a world of a difference from arp 2000 alloy to 8740 chromemoly

I'd go with the Callies Compstar 6.125" H-beam rods. They are rated for up to 900hp (although we've pushed them well over 1000rwhp) and are priced evry reasonably at $540.

Let us know if we can help!

 

I run the scat I-beams in my 370ci. Sees 7200rpm and 650-700rwhp on the jug with no problems so far.....

 

I am ordring some scat H-beams. I hear they are good for about 1000hp

 

so 6.125" would work on the stock 3.622 crank??
and those pistons i posted??

 

Not with the stock crank. You would need a 4" crank to make those rods work.

 

yeah i was confused for a bit there...
i know stock rods are 6.098 so scat offers 6.100 which would be ok...

 

Yes, the pistons you posted are setup for a 6.125" rod.

That is very incorrect.

 

so how bout those bolts?
would the chromemoly hold, or am i better off with the alloy?
i wont be spraying nitrous, but id like to add some boost later on...

 

im gonna have to double check those part numbers then..
i taught i had gotten the ones for stock crank..

i had made a list of the wiseco pistons and rods and it was totalling to 1400$
and on the texasspeed site u got the 402 assemblies for 1600-1700..
which got me thinking, thats why im trying to save on rods..

here it says its for the 3.622 crank, i got the wiseco catalog on my laptop, but i found this real quick on a friends comp...

 

Sorry Matt, I don't mean to undercut TSP or anything, but I think I just saw a thread where a guy found 6.125" Compstars for under $400...

 

yeah i got ahold of my engine builder and told me the scat I-beam rods will hold up....
so thats what im going with...
