Rod Bolts

I bought a new set of ARP rod bolts/nuts for my 351m to 400 conversion. Is there any thing special I must do besides pressing out and pressing in the new ones? Thanks Art

You should stretch them first.You can either do it once the motor is together or do it once there installed in the rod's.

Make sure to get the big ends checked/resized after you install the bolts.

Rat,

Big difference, with the values I plugged in, the compression ratio was 11:1, after changing to 8:5, my software was very close to your results. I like the 2003 look better, more info there!




Somehow this was posted wrong, sorry
