Need help finding connecting rods.

I can't seem to find the CAT H beam connecting rods for my Olds 455 anywhere. The cheaper ones. Does anyone know or have a link I can click on to buy these rods? Also what other mods are needed for these rods? I have a stock N crank and will use Kb pistons for a budget rebuild. Also I have edelbrock heads, rpm air gap, and 800 cfm carb. Still dont gave a cam yet.

Look online, you can get the Eagles for $400 and change.

When you're ready for cam give me shout if you like, I can help.

It's also highly recommended to have the new rods checked out for sizing, etc. and resized if necessary. A LOT cheaper than a problem later on if you install them "as is".
