I'm putting a mid 70s 360 together and I was wondering if I should have the stock rods resized/new bolts and ground to weigh the same or just go for a set of eagle I beams for $250. Pros/cons of both? Thanks!
buy these...they are a better rod....scat i beam 4340 steel....eagle i beam 5140 steel..

the stock mopar rod is very capable piece. its strong enough for most builds. if you change rods, then rebalance is required, adds to cost of job. original rods don't require rebalance. most resized rods are about $90 to resize and $60 for bolts. new rods @ $250 plus balance @ $250 = $500. hmmm must be new math??

This was the case with my engine. Ross pistons and H Beam Eagle rods - my crankshaft counterweights looked like swiss cheese with all of the holes drilled to offset for the lighter piston/rod assemblies.If you run a set of eagle or scat rods they will certainly be lighter than the factory rods so you will have to tale weight off of the crank not add to it
