Hi everyone,
Yeah, this is old hat. No info in the search here, so lets get this one going for the record please.
Will theese hold up to 6500RPM? Bear in mind this will be a balanced assy with 10:1 compression. Bolts are in my D6 truck rods, (thanks Rick) Thanks.

Been done before, good idea to get lighter pistons and inspect the rods closely

I hear ya on the rod prep Dave. I have 665 gram Arias pistons for them also.

So can I get by with the bolts?
Check for stretch/etc ?
Is there a safe limit I can measure for on the bolts?
Thanks.

It's always a good idea to replace used factory rodbolts IMO.

I'm also of the opinion that if your looking for more than 450hp, the extra few hundred for a set of hbeams is cheap insurance.....

Even a set of I-beams will do quite a bit more than factory rods. Cool
