I've came to terms that I will probably end up bending my rods sometime next year. For what the truck will be used for I beleive the lbz short block with lly pistons will be enough for me. Was wondering what these things are going for? Would like to find one at some point thats good and just refresh it with stock bore lly pistons. Anyone know about what these are going for??
LBZ Short Block

Well I might be selling my shortblock next spring polished an cryoed Lmm rods delipped lb7 pistons ect totally race ballanced.but a cheap option would be just buy lbz-lmm rods an tear your motor down or maybe lml if someone has some :thumb:
Steve I have some LBZ rods for sale...
From what I have learned, the LB7/LLY cranks are more desirable. So LBZ rods with LB7/LLY crank and cut LB7/LLY pistons, in my own opinion, would be your best bet if you dont want to spend the $ on carillos/crowers.
why do you think your gonna bend your rodsPull some fuel and your still faster than most
Well Larry thats easier said than done. I love drag racing. Maybe I will be lucky and it wont happen. I have my shift points around 3600 to keep it out of the lower rpms.
I have mine shifting at 3600 rpms too, also not bringing in full fuel till 2800 rpms
Ok Randy, Im full as I just ate a full box of blow pops to get the sticks!! Now what!!!! I even bought some gorilla duct tape!!!!
Gorilla duct tape, your going all out, that's the good stuff! By the way you have the wrong sticks,IIR you need Popsicle sticks not lollipop sticks! Just a hint because your gonna get fat trying to get the proper sticks for your build.
Get some fudgesicles or follow a good humor truck around and steal them from the kids. That's what I plan on doing now that the cats out of the bag is hustling some elementary school kids.
Damn you steve:spit: The way I saw your post on the home page I thought it was a post for an bz short block for sale. I am looking for one and thought I may have gotten lucky to find one so close to home. After reading I see you want to build one. It sucks tryin to do a build. I am trying to find all the parts right now on a certain budget and cant quite put all of the parts to the puzzle together. Good luck and if I find me a donor motor The rods inside will be of no use to me:thumb:

I think you may be on to something....... I think the fudge will help further strengthen the grain structure of the stick. Combined with the Gorilla duct tape (as long as you stretch it on tight enough) sounds like the winning ticket.
Just the material and engineering behind them is all. GM/Mitsubishi or whoever decided that the higher hp and torque warranted a bit of a stronger rod would be my guess.
