We are moving forward with a renewed commitment to serving the needs of our Ford engine builder community by increasing inventory of these Ford specifc rods and continuing to add new rods based on your feedback for the most popular applications.
We have taken the best attributes of our Standard Light, Ultra light, and Speedway series rods and have utilized them in the most appropriate applications from 302/351 Windsor to the 4.6L and 5.4L Modular power-plants and "385" series applications.
While many of you have been using our 5.400 length (302 based) Ultra Light rod for years, weve added our Standard Light rod to our catalog for those of you looking for a rod capable of higher HP levels. For the 4.6L, we've added our Standard Light design rod, in addition to the Ultra Light, for those of you looking for a heavier duty rod to push the performance level of these power plants even further. We've also transitioned our 5.850 length "Stroker" rod to the Standard Light beam to offer improved strength and durability for those of you pushing the 4.6L Modular into 302 territory and beyond. For the 5.4L Modular, we have added the Speedway version for extreme applications.
As with all Oliver rod's, our Ford Series rods are designed to withstand the abuse from today's high rpm naturally-as-pirated engines as well as high horsepower forced induction applications.
As cylinder head technology has advanced along with boost levels approaching 40psi on a normal basis, the need to update our Ford series rods with our best designs was a necessity to achieve the highest performance envelope possible. This rod features premium 1/16 in. bolts.
