Price of Maching 1st gen big rods to fit 2nd gen pistons?

[Fast66691GSX]

Hey Everybody,

I was just wondering how much have you all spent on getting your rods machined? I know alot of people say after you get the 2nd gen pistons,rings,and maching, you could just get a set of weiscos of something like that,but i already have my big rods and i am getting my 2nd gen pistons and rings for only 160. So with that being said, would it still be worth using second gen pistons on the big rods,or just forget about it and use the first gen pistons? My goals for the car are to basically have daily driver high to mid 12 second car when i am finsh. Thanks alot in advance everybody

I don't know, $6 each? Why not just call a machine shop, tell them you need to get the rod ends bored out see what they say.

I got mine done for free, but I did some serious welding for the guy, but he told me that the cost would be around $175 to $200. Turbo Trix charges like $250 or so.
