Looking for a connecting rod

I need one standard conn rod for a 455. I spun a rod bearing on #8. If an OEM piston is on it, that's fine, too.

Thanks!

Looking for a connecting rod

I have rods as well as rod/piston combinations. High compression or low compression piston? Thanks, Bob.

Unless it's hurt real bad any machine shop should be able to resize it. You should also have it's partner resized. At the very least check it. I'd bet a cold beer it needs fixed as well.

That's good advice. Someone else was telling me about the resizing process, so I'll check that out. Is it generally cheaper to resize than buy a new rod (as well as get it pressed and put back in etc.)?
thanks.
