The V8 Owners Forum -

Id like to add these to my 3.9 conrods but can anyone tell me if its possible to fit them without any modifications/machining, and does it affect the engine balancing?

Usually need to get the big end journals checked for trueness after fitting ARP bolts as some times they can pull a little

Ok thanks, think I will just stick to standard then. Waste of £80!

ebay them?

not a waste of money,
i think last time i did my 3.9 i bought a set of exchange rods from realsteel that were fitted with arp bolts and had the journals recircled and correct dimentions journal to journal, think that was around £120 then £40 to swap the crowns over for me,

just looked on the RS website blimey the parts they now sell for the RV8 has gotten smaller
remember when it was at least 3 pages long
no stroker kits or anything like that anymore not even exchange conrods,

They still list a stroker crank for use with chevy rods but I do remember the kits they used to sell. Maybe they had problems with them.

I know we had issues trying to get a company who was reliable to offset grind my crank in the current engine
