EDIT: I think that he mean 521 rods. Also if you want 'cheap' ARP rod bolts use Ford Big Block bolts, two sets for the cheaper price of one!!!!

Don't worry about "saving" the block. A good 1380 overbore will last the rest of most of our lives! And if you do blow up a standard or .020" or whatever overbore, it will just as likely destroy it as the 1380! You already have pistons so go for it! Still the easiest and most reliable way to make power.... displacement! I offset bore the two Middle cylinders outward .010" each, and Cometic makes their gaskets to this spec... I gave it to them. They call it the Mini Mania Offset spec. I think MED uses the same one if you buy Cometic MLS gaskets from them...
Oh, I have two sets of 621 rods with ARP 3/8" bolts for S or Inline as I pretty much build full race units with multi-web cranks and straight rods now (that use a Toyota bearing). Also two standard size very nice inline (Sprite/Midget)1275 crankshafts if anyone is looking during this time of... well. lots of time for projects! [email protected]

Sounds good just let me know. I don't need anything at the moment. Just trying to recoup some costs on my supercharged build. If you decide to pull the trigger on the rods shoot me an email - [email protected]
Happy to try and work something out with ya.

Just by my local machinist experience with a Hemi + Chinese rods that stretched and wrecked a motor... But that was his guidance. after the motor blew it came to him He identified the stretch in the mains.
Neat reading and seeing this type of conversatoin.... Not many building specality 'big' motors these days and chatting about it... Its hard to understand and keep up being a 'newb" in speciality builds.
