Thanks, I will try there. The reason that no one has them is Oliver is re-designing these rods and they won't have any until "sometime in January when re-tooling is complete". My engine is sitting at VT engines waiting for rods. I will probably just have them install the Manley Billet I-beam rods since they cost the same as the Olivers. Thanks!

Crower also makes a billet piece for the 4.6. (5.933 with a .866 pin)
Although I don't know why you need billet....unless you're going for over 1000RWHP. We've got an 1100hp combo in the works that we're using custom Oliver Billets on, but anything up to 800RWHP will be fine with most 4340 'H' or 'I' beams. Hell, my parts supplier swears that the standard Manley 'H' that comes in the 03/04 Cobras is good for over 1000hp. & if a 4340 'H' can handle that much....a 4340 'I' can handle more.

The reason I am going to use billet I beam rods is that I have the money and I want to make my bottom end bullet proof.

Did you buy a billet crankshaft as well?
 
Posted by truthseeker (Member # 4636) on :
 
No, just using the Cobra forged crank. I probably will never put the money or time in to make enough horsepower to stress the rods or crank, but it is good insurance knowing that I will not have to worry about the shortblock. Also, if I ever sell the car it will be a good selling point for someone that would like to stress the components to those power levels.

Yeah, the cobra crank has been pushed past 1000hp.
Due to the $2500 pricetag on a billet crank, we opted to use a stocker as well.
