Yes you can fit new rods.
As long as there is no wear on the crank, you will not need a regind. You will need new rings and Rod bearing as as well. Check the mains while you have it out as well. |

with the things you want to do to your car in this v8- t6 conversion
its going to cost you a f**k fortune and massive headaches you would have been better of getting someone to rebuild your 3v v8 or find a good 2nd hander then drop in a supercharger you would have grunt to scare the xr6t boys and enough torque to pull down the empire state building

na you are wrong there. so far engine has cost me about $1500(sold parts of car wreck )$1000 to rebuild turbo ,gaskets and rods rings bearings about $1200 . don't count hours of work .but to rebuild v8 and supercharge it is over $10,000 . so for about $5000 to get the turbo one in there i am better of .the 6 will still be a faster car thats for sure
