Johnny----

Yes, I inadvertantly gave the part number for the individual rods. You don't want to buy them that way if you need a set. As mentioned, the part number for the SET is GM #12496661. This part number is a package which includes EIGHT of the GM #10198922 rods.

Johnny - I used this set of rods on my 66 427/425, but sold the original knurled shank bolts on Ebay for $20, and bought a set of ARP ProWave 2000 bolts. I had my machine shop resize the big end, and precision balance the set with the rest of the reciprcating internals. It makes for a bulletproof bottom end, at least for the street power ranges. I was lucky and found a NOS set of these rods last year at Carlisle, with some surface rust that cleaned off in preparation...for $250. But the $400 to the door is a great price, had I not run into the set at the swaps, I was about to buy them online...Craig
