aftermarket 5.7 rods?

[bulldog11267mad]

Is there any place were i can get some aftermarket rods for a 5.7 3urfe? I know lextreme has the stroker kit but im not looking to stroke it. I just want stronger rods that can handle some boost

Not at this time unless u order more than 5 sets i can custom make for you and u can sell them on ebay or something.

Talk to an after market place near you, engine rods are like 'bolts' you can buy them in varying specifications, so it shouldn't be alot of trouble to find something thats very close, and have the extra material removed by an engineering place.

Yep you can usually get away with custom pistons with slightly different pin height, size etc to make them work??

The problem with 5.7 Rods would be the Big End Bearing. No off the shelf rods has the same big end diameter.
