"I" vs "E" Rods

[jules325i]

Are there any advantage in using "I" conrods in my stroker project over the "E" Rods.

[MR 325]

Well, they are different lengths. It all depends on what pistons you are using.

[acolella76]

Yep. Depends on pistons and crank. I rods are 135mm and Eta rods are 130mm. Unless you are building a 2.7L or 2.8L use M5x rods. they are the same length as I rods but are a lot lighter.

[MCG89]

arent the I rods a lot stronger than the E rods as well?

[MonkeyMadness]

I rods a 135mm
E rods are 130mm

[acolella76]

I rods a 135mm
E rods are 130mm

he said stronger, not longer ;) To answer the question: not a huge difference if any.

no.

to answer the original question - use the longer rods. unless you're doing a junkyard build with used stock pistons, then you could be stuck with the 130mm rods.
