You just need ONE rod? If so, I have one sitting on a dead piston if you want it. Also, your best bet for a crank would be to get one of the remanned ones from the autoparts store. They are a hair over $200 and come ready to go with all new bearings.

Email sent.

A remanned crank is the same as if you brought yours to get it done. Only difference is, it comes with a warranty from the autoparts store. Peace of mind is nice. Plus, some cranks are beyond repair so its good that they offer them at the store.

I would be wary of those remanufactured cranks. I've had two them crap on me and costed me two oil pumps as well. Be sure and take the crank kit to reputable machine shop and have them put the micrometer to work on journals, check for journal roundness, and definitely check for cracks.
