Are there any d series rods that don't require you to notch the block? I've heard the Crower rods fit fine, I'm looking at the econo billet rods. I'm only going to be running 1 bar of boost. Just want to put rods and pistons in w/o having to take the whole motor out to notch the block.

 

eagles.....

the new style fits, old ones dont

 

The ones with the 3/8" bolts?

 

pretty sure they made a version with 3/8 that did require notching, completely unsure though, just give eagle a call

 

Have fun checking clearances

Why not just remove the motor and do it? Or pick up a scrapper for $100 at a yard so you have no downtime for your car

Also, notching the block is absolutely nothing, took me 45min to figure out how to do it and to have it done with

Or my machine shop wanted $50 to do it

 

My Crower I beams fit my d16z6 without notching, it gets a little close but they fit okay. The econo billits on the other hand are h beams that are very similar to the eagles so I would not count on them fitting without notching. The only rods that I know for sure dont need notching are crower I beams.

 

I e-mailed Crower about the econo rods and Brain says they will fit without notching. I think the Crower I beams are way overkill for me. If I wanted to pull my motor out or get a scrapper to build then I wouldn't be asking this question.
