    Well I know it's not a stock rod cause it's not cracked but as far as I know it should be a 6.125 rod

    Ya, there are a few low end sets of rods only rated for 400 hp. It sux to see this happen. Whats the plan now? I bet u could find a 5.3 or 4.8 for pretty much free and throw it in there to beat on it for a bit... Just my .02

    for build info

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    well i def think thats what these are and it really pisses me off cause hes a pretty reputable engine builder and when i had him build it for a turbo motor and i told him i was trying to make 750 to the wheels on that setup. i am really glad i didnt touch that.

    that motor made 384 N/A and i had been spraying a 250 shot on it and i guess that was just to much for those junky rods
