Why are you even changing the pistons without the rods?

how much will it cost you to machine the rods and put the arp bolts in? You can get eagle h-beam rods for like $300.

Is this for b-series? D-series?

No need for them. Factory rods will bent break b4 your rod bolt/studs will.

just get them eagle rods.. dont be cheap, its better to be safe than sorry

when you put arp rod bolts in you will need to rehone the rods. by the time you pay to press the pins in and buy the rod bolts and rehone the rods......you could have just got eagle rods. i found this out from a friends build...lol

I know this is accepted as correct information, but I and a bunch of others have swapped in ARP rod bolts without re-sizing the big end, and it works great.

ARP rod bolts are needed for more rpm, not to make the rod hold more power.
