Nitto designed them around short ARP 2000 bolts so they clear the block in big-cam stroker engines, making them a good fit for high-power street, drag and circuit builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne version is listed: 6.125\" (155.57 mm) long with a 0.927\" pin end. Match them with pistons made for a 6.125\" rod and 0.927\" pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Nitto steel rod starts as double-melted 4340 billet, a cleaner material than the single-melt steel common in the aftermarket, and is forged as one piece for a consistent grain structure. Using 7\/16\" ARP 2000 bolts with a shorter 1.45\" under-head length lets these rods clear large cams and stroker cranks without the block clearancing many similar rods need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation by a professional is recommended.
