save some money , you dont need uprated rods , they are good well over 500 mate.balanced and arp bolts mind
Swedish plenums are a fad , not my mate but another well known mapper /tuner dont like em either ,reasons i forget but uneven mix comes to mind.
Would defo long stud it though, money you save on the rods i would invest in the long stud mate.
Hoping to have my new engine in for june/july time , but like your self no rush and no quater spared , thinking uprated box now too.

well i have a set of rods sat there so i may take your advice on that fella, i know what your saying on the inlets but i do like form and function , and well it will still do what i want it do
was speaking to martin at reyland the other week and he advised long studs ,
who did your tall ,glasses wearing friend use to do his machining ?

yes miller , the conversion was already done when we go the shell ,
however , jacks got most the measurements already , + mines there for any referance , and there well up to the task
althought its build to accept a modified 4x4 rear beam ( i also have a 2wd one ) it will be getting fitted with a brom/zoo style lateral link rear end,
one for ease , but more for the adjustability of the track and with of the rear end etc , along with the front having adj tca ,comp struts , top mounts , i should be able to put it all where i want it ,
theres nowt worse than cossied s2s with the weels 3 inches clear or the arches , looks fooking garbage !!
