So here is a list of goodies that will be the muscle under the hood of my 67 stang. FSPP headers, FSPP 272 cam, high capacity oil pan, roller tipped rockers, pushrods, lifters, dual roller timing chain, hipo balancer (the balancer isn't in yet), Clifford exhaust port divider, Weber 38 carb, custom Ross Racing Pistons made to bring my comp ratio to 10.1:1, Comp valve springs, Pertronix Ignitor 1, flamethrower coil, flamethrower wires, T-5 tranny from 89 5.0 GT. Should I get better rod bolts or will the ones that came with my new rods be fine?
 
in our aussie sixes we allmost always change the rod bolts, . we use arp , winsor v8 bolts, there the same as our aussie crossflow ones. you will then need to get youre rods re-sised, as the caps dont sit flush after the bolts have been installed.
im not sure if the american sixes run the same size bolt they prob do
 
ok, well that answers that, thanks. I guess I'll ask my machinist.
