how much horsepower will GM "pink" rods handle
i've got a set of pink rods for a sbc400 that i'm getting ready to build, and i would like to know how much horsepower these rods will handle. i've googled the crap out of it, and haven't had much luck at all.

Re: how much horsepower will GM "pink" rods handle
they handle about 450 to 500 max but the rod bolt itself is the weak point. put arp standard bolts in them at the least, or waveloc series if your serious,but honestly if your rods need resized and you buy bolts plus pay to get them pressed you might as well buy some scat ibeam that come with arp in them,i have seen them i think on cncmotorsports for 150$ you cant beat that good luck im cracking into a 454 right now
