a word of caution, the "B" rods were 1.000 pins, usually when the pistons are made for narrow rods the pins are .927

make sure to check this.

reciprocating weight (piston) increases the load logarithmically so if trying to run some RPMs keep that in mind. the lighter the better, and the con rod bolts are what take all the abuse. there is a reason that ARP gets $50 per rod bolt for the Carrillo rods.
