Default Connecting rods ?

Where can i buy new rods for my 5.9 360 ? I could have mine resized but i would rather have new if i have to go that route ! It was ran hot and egg shaped the crank journals so i am going to buy a new crank and rods when i rebuild it this winter !

Well depends on what it is gonna cost ? I don't want to build a motor and then have to spend more on all the little stuff that goes with it !

FYI.. Just make sure you have a beefed up transmission to handle the increased torque.

How much to resize the rods? Unless the price is anywhere near new rods, I wouldn't bother buying new unless you're upgrading from stock.. It only cost me like $40 to have mine resized.

Can't say I've ever heard of anyone breaking a Magnum Rod, everything else, but not a rod. You can use them for a stroker build, just need to get the corners machined off of the tops...By then you could have Scats.
