    Posted: Apr/20/2014 at 4:37pm
Does anyone know the big and small end weights of the K1 rods?  I know the total is listed at 601 grams, need to know the split big end to small end.

Thanks,
Greg

Dont they make 1 rod for 360's & another for 401"s?
I wonder if the weights would be different?

Have to be, the sizing is different between the two engines.

They're already in the motor. I had a balancer come apart, my balance guy needs to know the weights to match a balancer so I don't have to tear the motor down. But the K1s have been good for 700 hp with nitrous for years and 900ish with the turbo for a short time last fall.
