I'm shopping for a good set of 133mm long connecting rods with 9mm bolts from a late 240z.

I've found a few places online but don't want to spend quite so much. PM me with a price if you have some.

I might have 5 - don't ask me where the 6th one went -ha.
Let me check the shed

I'm not exactly close, but I think I have a set if that works for you. Definitely have another set, but they are still in a 73 engine. Will check the first and PM you. 

Yep-just 5 is all I have

Right now I'm just trying to maximize quality and price. MSA has some for $106 each, but I can't tell if they are NOS or aftermarket or what.

Found a used set for $350 but seems high and there's an error on the site so I don't know if there's a shipping charge. If no one has a set I might be stuck with these options.

I had looked into the CX Racing ones, but there's no consensus on them on any of the Z forums, other than that they have terrible customer service.

Aren't there garage-fulls of L24's out there, from L28 swaps?  Seems like you could get an old engine pretty easily.

Seems like but I haven't seen one yet. Granted I've only been shopping for rods for a few days.

Maybe everyone is doing like me and keeping their 2.4L engine in a crate.

And there IS a consensus on CX Racing: stay far away.

Sent you a PM Matthew.. $350 seems pretty darn high.

I've got a set but I'm gonna see what Matthew does then copy-cat his build.

I used the 8mm in my 2.4, balanced them at like 438 grams IIRC.  Put APR bolts in.  With an aluminum flywheel it spins up like a motorcycle,  not a Hog, a real motorcycle.

Talking about real motorcycles got me thinking of @rossiz

Where have you been Geoff?  Hope you're doing well.

Rods purchased!

Thanks everyone, but especially zKars.

Siteunseen, I'll post the plan in my build thread this evening.

Been consumed with moving, and now visiting family in MA. Gotta purge my Z stash - will be posting soon...
