only rods you can get for a d15 are from crower, and they arent cheap at all. like almost 800bucks

Its prolly cheaper to switch over to a d16 block

depends on your area, should be dirt cheap, check out craigslist. even if the motor is blown, your building it anyways.

I can find an entire z6 for 400 bucks from a junkyard by me, add some custom ftj rods, or eagle rods will be about 2-3 hundred, and they and tried and tested.
