Kinda what I'm thinking, those rods and some standard bore wisecos, arps and a good gasket and you'd be set. If they are anywhere near as good as Eagles they should easily hold more power than I want to spend transmission wise. Honda guys are getting 600hp and turning the motors close to 10,000rpm on Eagles.
Paradise racing has 2rz Eagle rods on sale for $349 for black Friday! Normal price is $399. LCE is selling similar rods for $490. If you're willing to gamble similar looking unbranded rods can also be found for $275 on ebay but who knows what you will get.
Also, LCE recently added similar no name 3rz rods for sale on their website for the same $490 as the 2rz rods. It may not be long until other vendors start selling them.
I hope maybe if 2jz get hard to find they'll start taking the 5vz more seriously as a performance engine and forged stuff will be cheaper. I'm wondering what my price point would actually be for nice rods. Maybe $8-900 would do it at this point.
