Dang. Everyone I talk to says it will take six weeks to get a set of 6.125 A-beam rods. And I'm sure buying right from carrillo will cost me a fortune.

Dyers makes good rods too as do Manley, the 300 M Manleys that is. Wheel 2 Wheel keeps the Dyers in stock I think. I know that Tom Kemp has Dyers rods in his engine. Manleys keeps the 300M rods in stock to.

6 weeks for rods isn't too bad specially from carillo.

If you start getting into custom lenghts/ journals/ pins etc it's like 4-6 months or try waiting 8 months for a billet crank.

Just remember that the CARR bolt is the #1 reason to go with carillos, if you are getting the standard bolt save yourself the money and go with a callies or lunati rod

Oliver is right up there with their parabolic design. Carillo is given credit for developing the "H" beam rod, but there are several manufacturers that make good ones nowadays. I'd look hard at Lunati or Crower, damned good pieces for less than the Carillos will set you back.
What are your plans for the engine?

Might want to look at Howards rods as well. The Dyers rods are great pieces, W2W sells both of them. What are your HP/RPM goals?

Carrillo is the best because of the Carr bolt and the quality control that goes into production of the rods.

We are a Carrillo dealer. As we do not have them in stock I may be able to get a set expedited to you. Shoot me a PM or call me and I can see what we can do for you.
