Starfire, Blue & Black motor rods are all the same. I have heard of people using all sorts of rods like BMW & Merc not sue which particular models. Blue & black cranks are the same thing.

Agree with what everyone else has said. Blue/Black cranks are the same, 12 counterweight design, Starfire, Blue/Black rods ditto.

It's funny how the starfire rods are getting very pricy, yet the blue/black rods are still very cheap, and just as good. There are some guys out there making really big big power out there, like the dude with the turbo 6 in perth, IIRC running blue crank & rods.

I've heard & read of VW golf rods being used b/c ppl couldn't get starfire rods at the time. I thought that was quite an amusing read, considering the stockpile of blue/black rods that would be around, just look how many commondores in the wreckers.

it's also funny considering vw's come from the factory with about 40hp...not really a need for ultra strong rods...

Yep, those germans like to over engineer things, don't they!

Oh well, it's good for us when the supply of rods for holden 6's dry up, not that it would happen before hell freezes over..... ROFLMFAO.
