Technical Baby hemi rod bolts

Where are you guys finding new rod bolts for the 241 dodge hemi , are they available or what do I use ? Thanks

 

Have you checked with Hot Heads or ARP?

 

ARP

 

How is the 241 (or is it 270?) coming along?

Not yet been looking on line , but not finding them

 

Comming along but slowly , block is getting an .030 overbore this or next week, then measure and order pistons when I get it back

 

Hot heads had all the bolts fit my 330 desoto. Call them

 

My 241

 

Another issue you’ll run into is finding main bearings. Even HHs was having a problem with that. There’s a vendor in Texas that had some.

 

Thanks good to know , name of vendor ?

 

If you have them, the original rod bolts should be fine for normal street use if not boogered.

 

Talked with my engine builder. He seemed to remember using 273/318 rod bolts. Just have to get one of those bolts and fit it to a 241 Rod to verify.

 

I sent a PM to Gary (73RR) yesterday. Verified you can use the 273, 318, 340, 360 rod bolts. I would do the extra mile and run ARP.

 

I bought the ARP’s to use in the build also getting new head and crank bolts from hotheads also

 

Sounds like you are on the right track. What cam are you going to run? Solid or hydraulic?

 

Had racer brown do a regrind of 420 lift on my original hydraulic cam
