Rod bolts wouldn't bother Mitch. By the time you prep em(even working in the industy) should end up same if not dearer than buying spool rods.

I've got a 4age and a couple of "k's" at home so in the next couple of days I'll try a 4age bolt in my 5k and let you know.

Ummm, why bother. A standard 5K bottom end will handle 8000rpm (plus at times :o ) without complaining. Wasn't there something about using Chev V8 rod bolts at some stage???

[Mitch-12]

it's boosted so there is fair bit more pressure on the mains

Yep Col, my 3/4K had arp 327 chev rod bolts.

the 4ge main studs do fit, but you have to cut the stud beside the oil pump from memory.

the ARP small block chev bolts will fit the3/4/5k con rods only if you ream the hole out to 3/8th

 

hope this helps
