Guys have been 9's on stock rods with good bolts, so unless you are going nuts on a build I'd say go stock.

I have never seen any stock rods fail under race conditions. You always hear of SBC having problems but never the buicks. It always seems like the crank or blocks coming apart.

ok ,it's what a knowing but i brook my crankshaft in 2 parts and i twist one rods,i need to rebilt the engine and i am in decision to put a new set of original rods or forge ,i know the stock rods are good but for how many hp..... look into my signature if thay can resist' bob

For what you have I don't see why you couldn't use a stock rod? Your post wasn't to legible so it's hard to say what your wanting. Stock rods are good 'til the 9's anyway in a production block. If you're planning on faster than that you should be looking for a Stage ll block cause the rods will be the least of your problems.

I'll have the rjc girdle on my engine this year. if it can take jason cramer into the 9.80's, i'm sure it's gotta be good. he also runs those times on stock crank and rods, so it's capable. any more than that, you should go to a stage block.

I went 9.98 with my stock rods wth stock bolts.
If you want a new readily available set of narrow journal steel rods Oliver maybe the only option. I just purchased a set from Cottons and he got them to me in 4 days. You will pay tho...

Hey Petit Bob
DOn't worry about the Rods and Crank. You must of had a flaw in the Crank to break like that. Some of us like Freddy says are running very hard with the Stock Crank & Rods. Some are running 9's with Original Parts. Once it's put together right. The 109 should hold well for a long time.

Good Luck
