[1998silverbird]

I Post to let everyone know that in 6 weeks I am going to have the first set of manley H beam forged Rods for the 3.8.. They handle up to 1200 hp.. I will keep everyone posted on when they will start to sell the Rods..

How did you score these? What did they cost you and whats your intended build up that would require these?

How come you didnt choose to use the new L32 rods?

I Had to send them my stock rods so they can make the H-beams.. I looked at the L32 rods and didnt like them.. The rods will be around 500-600 for a set.. AMMperformance is were I am ordering them from.. go here to look at them,

They have been proven to handle over 1000 HP..

My intended buildup..

Just check my Sig.. I plan on sprayin between 150-250 shot on my motor.. Consider I put down 252hp on my stock motor with a 50 shot I am looking for over 400hp with the 150 direct port and over 500 ftlbs.. I am just waiting for the rods to arrive.. It will be a month or so and the motor should be done by December.. I am going to have G force rebuild the tranny.. Right now I have a completly stock motor sprayin a 90 wet shot..

People can say thats never going to happen or why dont you just get a LS1 but the fact is the motor buildup is costing me 1500 for the rotating assembley, 500.00 for the heads, 125 for the ported intake, 170 for the cam, and 800.00 for the machine work and engine assembly.. Thats about 3200 for a built motor.. The tranny is going to cost 800.00.. so we will say 4000.00 all together.. I bought my car for 10,000 and have about 2000 in it including the exaust, suspension , gears, and hood.. so when I am done I will have a 20,000 dollar 11 second car hopefully..
