USA ZX3 forged rods for zetec
Hi everyone, help appreciated on this so here's my question.
I have been looking at piston & rod packages from the usa for their version of the zetec (the ZX3) because its 400 quid cheaper than our packages
So my question is, could I get the Rods from the USA to fit the zetec or are the small/big ends & the rod length different?
As for the pistons, I'm sure they would be ok or am i wrong?
This is for a zetec turbo build by the way!

they will also fit into a silvertop .
make sure the compression ratio is what you want as the yanks like it to be in the 9s
