Default Re: stock connecting rod question?

Definately get the ARP bolts pressed in at your machine shop. They have to do a little bit of clearancing on the rod to get them to fit but it's worth it! One of weakest links in the small block ford is the puny stock rod bolts. The rod itself is pretty strong, but the bolts aren't. Make sure they aren't over-torqued either when you assemble them.
