This is a formal bulk buy for a complete set of aftermarket manufactured high performance connecting rods for the KL engine series of 2nd. generation Ford Probe GT's & Mazda MX-6's. This bulk buy will be running for one months time.
Description:
A few years ago I spent roughly four months tracking down a set of Millennia-S connecting rods and eventually found a junkyard Mazda Millennia-S engine to scavenge rods from. However, it was too late and money and time constraints forced me to perform a stock engine rebuild. This brought me to discuss the idea of having H-beam style rods made with the Millennia-S rod’s physical dimensions. To condense the rest of the story: over several months time with the help of a few fellow Probe owners, a generous company and a ton of luck we now have these rods available to us. They are as follows:
These connecting rods were used by a manufacturing job shop to fill a slot of unscheduled down time; due to this situation we got them at a fantastic price compared to how much it would normally cost to run such a small batch of custom parts. The company has since gone out of business and as of my last talk with them had no other companies with the required equiptment to recommend. So in lesser words these 12 sets are probably all we will ever see. It should still be enough for the few of us planning to make +400hp though!

Six rods and twelve bolts come to $397+$20 shipping (+ fees if you use PayPal)
I have extremely limited time to arrange shipping quotes therefore I think it would be best to have a flat $20 shipping fee and whatever the difference in shipping cost is at the end of the BB will be donated to Probetalk. I will gladly keep a running tally of the difference posted. Pricing is only for items shipped inside the continental US.

To condense the rest of the story: over several months time with the help of a few fellow Probe owners, a generous company and a ton of luck we now have these rods available to us. They are as follows:
- H-Beam style rods; pretty much the industry standard for cost effective high performance applications
- Machined from 4340 chromoly steel forgings
- Piston pin bushing left undersized for hand pin fitting
- Finish ground on Sunnen cross-grinders
- Millenia-S size piston pin bore
- Millenia-S/KL size crankshaft end bore
- Millenia-S center to center length
- Bolts are ARP 8740 series with 12 point heads and have been increased from 8mm diameter to 7/16” diameter (~11mm) to increase the strength of the bolt. The Standard English size also reduced cost of the bolts significantly.
These connecting rods were used by a manufacturing job shop to fill a slot of unscheduled down time; due to this situation we got them at a fantastic price compared to how much it would normally cost to run such a small batch of custom parts. The company has since gone out of business and as of my last talk with them had no other companies with the required equiptment to recommend.
