You wouldn't want to install the rods just by themselves, you'll want to have forged pistons to go along with them. We will be doing another group buy on pistons once they rods are made, as I will want to confirm some rod dimensions to make sure the pistons are compatible.
We don't have a hard number on piston cost yet, but I'm hoping the pistons will be somewhere in the 600-800 range but its too soon to tell at this point.
So you're basically building an engine suited for boosted applications. If you can't assemble the engine yourself, you'll be paying someone else to do it. That cost can vary from shop to shop, and will also vary depending on how much of the labor you can, or want to do your self. Will you pull the engine, and reinstall yourself? Or will you just take it to a shop and have them do everything. Way to many variables to really put a price on it.
If you can do everything yourself, you're looking at the cost of the rods, pistons, gaskets, etc for everything needed to reassemble, plus the cost of having the rotating assembly balanced.
If you're dropping your car off somewhere and having someone else do all the work, you could be looking at a few thousand dollars more on top of just the parts and a simple rotating assembly balance job.
