As far as I know the rods are stock. I haven't looked for rod bolts yet but will most likely be ARP. They are out of an engine that my dad had in his boat as is everything else except this block. I'm going to run the Comp cam that was in it as well which is a hydraulic flat tappet. It's the Magnum series and gas 253 @ .050 with a. 525 lift. he originally bought it with the K kit which comes with the lifters, springs, timing set, etc. He had the Sportsman heads set up with those parts back when he first put the old engine together. It was powering his jet drive boat but never saw over 5000 rpms because of the low compression and mismatched impeller.

Ok, then. Heat treat the rods (after polishing the rod's I beam) BEFORE you resize the big end and add the new rod bolts. You probably already knew this, but I'd thought I remind you.
