Help choosing rods
I am in the process of choosing connecting rods for my all motor build (96 Lude)and would like some input. I did try to search about rods, but all I came up with is "for sale" items. How important is rod selection? Here are my choices:
Carrillo (they said it would be 337 per rod).
Pauter (750 for a full set).
Crower (don't know the cost but its not that much)
Golden Eagle
The rods will be going with either custom Wiseco or custom CP Pistons. I haven't decided on the pistons yet.

Re: Help choosing rods (hu)
That seems high for the Carrillo rods. I want to say that mine were $600 for the set of 4. This is for a b-series, but I can't see the H being that much more. You want to be sure to stay as light as possible.

Race Engineering has Carrillo's for $700. About same for Crower. Eagles will be the cheapest (get what you pay for). Manley's are good as Carrillo/Crower and a bit less,for now. Price of good steel going up soon.

Re: (hu)
Retail pricing on Carrillo H beams as about $1000 for 4.
I only dream about Cunningham rods.
Normally, we'ved sold people h22 rods and a custom piston to use in F22/H23 bottom ends.
