At this moment I have 3 left. I'm tearing down an old FX motor right now and depending on that crank, may use one in it for that customer.
The remaining rods are priced as follows: 2 of the 3 are blems that have a small imperfection. Doesn't effect performance though.
billet rod - $225
rod & bearing kit - $260
(blem rod) - $215 - Kit $250

Tim checked over the rods and he gave them the thumbs up.
ONE THING TO TAKE NOTICE!!!!!
The bottom end of the rods are actually 6-7 thousands wider then stock (believe they used the z400 rod specs to match the z400 bearing). So when the crank is assembled, the specs in the manual are actually correct for the crank width. So all of you that have been shimming your cranks, you know longer have to as it will reduce your side play by that much. So instead of having 14 thousands you would have 7 thousands.

What about those of us who have cases that have around .008"? I personally have never seen a case that had .014" endplay. If it did it was either crank assembled wrong or improper measuring notably those who measure with crankplate gasket installed. That is a no no since it settles and you lose endplay.

I think I had .043 when I did my 495? So I shimmed it.
