Basically you will be looking for BBC sized rods if you are doing a stroker. (You *are* doing a stroker right?) So head to Ebay and search for BBC parts. I picked up a set of new Oliver billets, normally about 1200 a set for 750.

Eagle offers an ESP h beam rod that is a direct bolt in for the stock rod. Their catalog shows a cost of $725.00/ set but you can probably find them cheaper. Also SVO offers the truck rods, which I've heard are good for 600hp. (the stock broach cut rods are good for 400-500)

Eagle SIR I-beams are very nice looking rods, I used the pressed-fit version in my 466.

Can't beat the price, I paid around 269 last year, I've seen 'em for 200 or so on ebay recently.
