Connecting Rods

Is there a company that makes a forged 6.100" connecting rod for our engines? I am rebuilding my motor and I want to throw some forged pistons and rods in there.

Re: Connecting Rods

Lunati does not make a 6.100" rod for our application. I went with the eagle rods from Scoggin Dickey. Thanks guys

Eagle H beam rods are 6.100 with a .927 pin. I have a set on my floor waiting to go in. All for only $480 like said above! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Connecting Rods

Is the stock lenth 6.000? If so, why go to a 6.100? Just curious so I know what to look for when I'm ready..

Thanks,
Dan

I just put the Lunati Pro-Mod 6.125" rod in my new 346ci motor with JE forged pistons. If I had some extra $$, the Oliver rods would have been my choice. Very nice rods!
