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.

 

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.

 

Im putting an H23 crank in my H22 bottom. Carrillo doesn't have H23 rods off the shelf, so it is a custom order.

 

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.

 

Hey Rocket, you carry Carrillo Pro-A Lightweight A-Beam rods for B18C5?

 

Pauter has h23 rods in stock if price is not an option
