just buy a rotating assembly... they are cheap enough, and you get all the right **** the first time!

Like stated just buy a kit. If you were to buy those, You would run into issues with the psiton compression height. You'll run into major problems.

just buy a kit including a 4" crank, 6.125" rods, and a 1.35 compression height piston, All that with a 4.03" bore will yeild you a 408!

Those are an awesome set of rods!! Now, like everyone has said, just order a rotating kit! The reason why is this......look at the rod journel size listed......1.88.This is a Honda journal size. You would have to purchase a custom forged or billet crank with that sizing to use them
