Master kit questions

What is included in a "master" rebuild kit? Are rods included? I'm trying to do this 360 to a 390 hat trick. Thanks.

i dont believe rods are included in most rebuild kits, but i suppose if you found the right rebuild kit it would have them, my friend rebuilt a thunderbird 390 with a complete rebuild kit and that one didnt include rods. i would check around you should be able to find a kit that includes them, good luck
