Series III Rods

[Z26v6]

I know these are stronger....powdered metal, but are they any heavier? If so, by how many grams/ea.??
Where is the best place to buy them and about how many $/set?

Never weighed them when mine were installed, with Diamond pistons. I got mine when my Dad worked at GM for 20%+ off , but I know ZZP sells them or try GM parts direct. Also you could probably look at short block from a 06-08 L26 Buick/Pontiac motor for pretty cheap. Then you would have a low mileage block with pistons, rods, and better heads.

They are NOT stronger really. They are more CONSISTENT.

The odd series II would throw a rod, the newer engines don't :)

Re: Series III Rods

In an L26 are pistons/compression and/or valve sizes any different from the L36s in our 4th gens??

Thanks for responses so far!!
