Changing Connecting Rod Bolts.

When I say cheaper, I mean cheaper than getting new I beam rods. Usually its more cost effective to get new rods than it is to recondition old rods. Thats what I meant by cheaper. The thing is that I want to avoid the costs of balancing. Add that, and then it is less money to just have the bolts changed on the old rods.

Just wanted to make clear what I was saying by "cheaper".

Resize what you have,unless you want a really solid foundation for 500 + horsepower.(not a bad idea,considered your budget). New rods,means a new "bob weight",and a crank rebalance. (Somewhere in the 300-600 dollar zone,I.M.O). What do you want it to do?
