800+(English Draught) HP is obviously the same as 1200 (German) Pony Sized thingies.

Hi there guys

Nice rods, but I am somewhat concerned about their suatability for both 3.6 and 3.8 engines, I was under the impresion that the 3.6 engine and the 3.8 had different length conrods.

Regards

Joe Rubido

Yes, of course, conrods for 3.6L are 144 mm and for the 3.8L 142.5 mm,
and bigbore is also diffrent.

These rods look VERY similar to SCAT rods. And with ARP bolts they should be a good improvement over factory. I've used Scats on a 20vt engine (audi S3) to well over 400 whp whithout a problem. They'd be worth a try, shame I already ordered a set for my engine...
