Are you looking just for some stock rods, or aftermarket steel? If aftermarket high-performance, you would be looking at about 1000-1200 US. Then the taxes at british border...

I don't know about that Tom..... Pauter was going to make me some custom connecting rods for around $600 to $800 depending on what options I wanted.(such as drilled oil passages)

Most of the American companies will make you custom forged rods for less than companies like Arrow Precision ( from the UK )

Here is a link to all the major connecting rod suppliers all over the world...

My personal picks for connecting rods would be.... Crower, Pauter and Oliver.

Some of the links don't work.... all you have to do is copy their name into Yahoo and do a search.... most of the time the companies come up right away.

Agreed, this is the price quote they gave me as well... too bad I'm just a window shopper.
