I will have to buy two additional, so I need some kind of baseline on price. They appear to be 6.86,big wrist pin and I beam design. Will check before buying. This is why I need to know cost for two more to complete the set.Any help appreciated.

I think they'd be fine in a lower h.p. application in most cases , but I'd be reluctant to pay a bunch for them. And I'd have them thoroughly checked out before I ever considered using them. But that you are buying Hemi rods tells me you are building a Hemi.....not much cheap in that deal. And where you save can become very expensive. Just sayin......

Manleys were earlier on. RIP Monte Smith Your work is a reflection of yourself, autograph it with quality.
