Buying new rods, but not changing the pistons?? Then not balancing an assembly that has different rods and will need to make decent RPMs to make any boost/power???
Your making a bunch of poor decisions here...
When's the last time you found an Eagle forged rod to fit a 273 that were the same weight as a factory rod?, not to mention he's talking about swapping out cranks...The rods are overkill...
Maybe so, but the OE rods are no hero size units ether. So I guess I'm leaning along with him. Unless he's building a super charge 273 for mileage, ha ha ha ha....
