i was looking at http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/
and went to f-150 5.4 connectiong rods, there only $41? i thought they were a lot more??? if the stock ones are so cheap how much can aftermarket ones be?? like $75 a piece? i bet installations a bitch though. how much is everyone that has upgraded their rods paying for installation?

thanks
joe

$400.. for a set
Damn good deal

 

pretty good deal, how much for the install? did you upgrade your pistons too? how much hp is that setup good for?

 

HEHE
I don't know My truck is getting the work done right now. I am putting those rods in allong with some Federal Mogal pistons. I am also doing long tube headers a torque converter and beefing up the transmision while the truck is apart.

Those rods can handle what ever you want. I think they are good for 800 HP

I have no idea what the project will end up costing me. It will be interesting when I get the bill.

And no there was nothing wrong with my truck

Come March I will be able to tell you how fast the beast will go. I have a feeling it might be a bit quicker than the 12.45 I am running now:o

 

I noticed on the Manley website that they offer 2 different pin diameters...anyone know which version the aftermarket pistons for the L requires?

 

hey don,
how much did those pistons run you and where did you get them?
