Connecting rods

posted by  someone claiming to be Kenny (linuxman, not the other kenny) on  Fri Jun 8 04:40 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Still no thoughts on aftermarket/other connecting rods? the motor type in question is a b230ft, and the question posed was would connecting rods from other car manufacturers work, and what aftermarket rods would anyone recomend? I hadn't planned on doing a full rebuild, but it turns out the motor i got from the junkyard had a nice set of holes in it where it slung a couple rods(head looks ok tho..., i just gotta find a block). I'm going to stick with volvo pistons for the time being. Also, for those that have done complete rebuilds, what're some other things to keep in mind? I'm not planning on going nuts with this motor(i have another car for that..), but i dont want to be rebuilding it again in the next decade. ideally, I'll be running 9-12 psi (along with the necessary hardware to safely do that... bost gague, rrfpr, etc). Thanks a lot!

-k.
