WTB 3.8L 3800 Series II Connecting Rods Non SC

[TrickyTransAm]

Hi,

Looking to purchase a set of good 3.8L Series II connecting rods.
I need them for a FWD application, 97-2000 3.8L Non Supercharged.
My castings are a #669.

Looking to purchase soon.
Please forward me your price.
I am a cash buyer. I have a set of Supercharged 3.8L Rods that I'll trade if you want them.

PM Me here.
Thanks
C

GM parts direct should have some. Good luck finding some, hopefully I will never have to get them

They're about $50 per rod according to my dealer.

We used to be able to get core motors for $50, but they've all been scrapped with the cash for clunkers program. Whatever I pay, I have to add on about $150 for re-conditioning, so I'm trying to keep it cheap.

I don't know if those are it or not, it does say it os not for the L32 app.

Ive got a set w/ about 70k on them, recently pulled from block (block sent in for machining) although I am considering a different route

either way, $150 w/ pistons???

I'll have to double check the lengths on my rods and compare the part numbers in their catalog.

The L36's used two different lengths of bolts - ARP offers both, but you have to measure your existing bolts to match them with the rods.

I plan on buying the bolts from ARP - they were around $50, which isn't bad for an upgraded Torque to Yield bolt.

When your machinist tells you that you can re-use these bolts - run. Run Far away from him!

Update: These are what my 2010 book is showing.
ARP Bolts Pro Series:
1.500" UHL - 123-6001
1.700" UHL - 123-6002 (Which is what your link above is)

Are these L36 Rods? (Non supercharged 3.8L rods)
I wouldn't need the pistons.

I bought a set of 3.8L Supercharged HD rods for $58. Theyre too short, so I would hope to find a good standard 3.8L set for around $50
If I cant find a set, I'll probably list the new parts on here and scrap the rest.

technically they're L26 rods, the NA 3800 Imps (04/05) got L26 bottom ends w/ the L36 top ends. There is no difference in the dimensions of the L36 & L26 rods, supposedly the L26 rods/pistons are stronger b/c they went to a different coating on them, but I have yet to verify that.

Could've warned you on the L67 rod purchase though, the L37/32 engines are ~8.5:1 compression the L36/26 has ~9.4:1 and its due to the shorter rods
