We have 2.25" rod journals.

SBC is 2.10".

SBC rods can be machined to fit from what I've heard, but by the time you do it, it's cheaper to buy the right ones.

If you look hard enough, there are titanium rods out there. Bypass the cool aluminum and go strait to wicked ti!

Probably easier to get a custom crank made for what you need to fit those rods.

street truck and aluminum rods?

Re: aluminum rods???

aluminum rods on street ride not a good idea!! titanium not a good idea either... titanium are ok on n/a engine but not for turbo or nitrous engine. they are light but will not take the abuse. and aluminum are subject to stretch .
