I found a vendor that has new forged H-beam 198 connecting rods. :D

Matching 225 high compression pistons are also available.
Make sure you're sitting before you look at the prices. :shock:

Yes K1 has worked with us directly to produce those rods. They are actually very reasonably price, maybe not sbc or 302 rods. They had a small problem with the tang location, but great stuff!

Stock 198 con rods, used (if you can find them) $200 plus at least $25 (probably more) per rod to add ARP bolts and recondition= $350.
So for less then $150 more you have a much stronger, lighter rod. Actually a no brainer.

Or even more, if you REALLY wanted a set, say, 2 years ago... AMHIK.

I was being conservative. I really think it would be more then $25/rod to uprade the stock ones.
