Great gear and very well priced. Call Brad and have a chat.

The Spool conrods by themselves are $780, I'm not sure how much the I beam ones are.They're running in some pretty big horsepower cars.Spool conrod specs: CONROD B/E S/E C/C WEIGHT ARP BOLT Ford XR6 Falcon 56.8706mm 22mm SF 153.92mm 652 3/8 Ford XR6 Falcon - I Beam 56.8706mm 22mm SF 153.92mm 550 3/8 Edited 20/01/10 06:46 AM by Sprjenkins Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65270-what-upgrades-to-the-bottom-end-should-i-do/#findComment-972775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to go with the Spool gear when I get around to it.
