SVT/Manley connecting rods..
I appologize if this is the wrong area to post this.. [but it involves 4.6s]
I have 13 of the Manley forged H beam connecting rods that were used in the 03/04 Cobra motors. Got em on trade for some parts [a T5-Z] I had.. the guy I got em from worked at the place where the pistons and stuff for them Cobra motors all got put together.... :dunno Anyways, I got a guy that wants to buy them but is griping that $500 CDN for an unused, new set of these [13 of them at that] is too much :rolleyes: & I need the $$$ and to rid of these things.. [I got no use for em]. I'm not budging off $500.. you guys that was a fair asking price for them? [considering what they are new $$$... I thought it was..] |
$500 sounds like a fair price
|
I got a really good price of just over $600 for a set of Scat rods for my 4.6 so $500 with no tax is an excellent price for what you described, IMO
|
Thanks,
Well if any of you 4.6 guys know of anyone... i'm not waiting around for him.. I'll sell em all [13 of em] for $500 Canadian... *edit* Or of anyone has any Ford 2.3L Turbo stuff lying aorund.. a trade maybe.. :dunno |

Is this place in Canada? are you saying its a Plant/Shop? Why 13? I don't know, because that's possibly all he [the guy I got them from] was given for extra hours worked.. or.. apparently there is a skid of them on a shelf there and they dont wanna toss em, but can't use em. That's what he said. Nope i've never seen or heard of these rods breaking. Yes, the place/plant that made the pistons for the '03 - '04 Cobras is in infact, in Canada. |

No set buyer as of yet. [First come first serve after the way he griped... I originally was going to hold them for him but but he got kinda ignorant with me so..].
To the best of my knowledge you can use them in the 4.6 2 valve motors when rebuilding. Find out for sure though... |
Yes you can use those rods in a 2V build. The 2V and 4V's share the same demensions on the rods so they're interchangable. $500 is dirt cheap for 13 of these rods. They're the Manley 14042-8 rods (forged H beam), and a set of 8 new goes for ~$500USD.

I took them all out of the box today, and took some pics. Two of them have some surface rust, if you can call it that as it kinda rubs off [first time I yanked em all out of the box so I didn't know]. The two, are still easily useable - just neeed to be cleaned off. The rest are basically as new. I appoligize for the pics I was stuck using my quick cam, :rolleyes: my mom took the good camera out of town for family Christmas.. :dunno This will give you the idea anyways.
