Does anyone make I-beam 361-383-400 rods anymore?
I cannot find a new replacement set of rods (only $700 H-beams)
Looks like i'm gonna be buying a used set...offer 'em up fellas

Looking to keep busy this winter by stock building a '69 383 HP engine.
Anyway... about 10 or so years ago I sold the pistons & rods for several
reasons that I'm not happy about now. Such is life.

I'm fairly sure you can still get them thru a parts store like NAPA.

there WAS a low buck B rod for a short time , the bad was they were floating pin and there was only 2 piston available off the shelf that would work with the rod , it made the rod a SLOW seller I assume and they were never made again , they were na H beam .

I would try NAPA as suggested , what you will get is probably a stock 5140 rod . or buy a set of used stock rods and have them redone , why eagle charges what they do for that rod is , plus its a floating pin rod and it leaves you once again STUCK using only those 2 pistons .
