These come without rod bolts, you will need a total of 10 3/8" x 1.6" rod bolts for them the ARP part number is: 200-6209 for a set of 8 and then ARP 200-6219 for a single pair. 2.3L builds may require some machining of the lower bore for clearance.

HiPSI Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm extremely interested, but don't want to have to go thru the expense of machining. Could you clarify if these will require a 98 T5 2.3 to have the lower bore machined? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a big deal to notch the block, you can do it with a die grinder or even a dremel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRACStar Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I can check pictures later but they look identical to the rods in my block and I had zero clearance issues. I believe the step that is at the bottom where the bolt head seats in earlier versions ran to the bottom of the rod which would hit the block walls.

jnderr Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Perhaps the number of built motors has reached critical mass. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
