Ummm...NO WAY... aluminum rods have a life expectancy of around 40 1/4 mile passes. The engine must be specicially built..ie..more piston to head clearance. For the little bit of weight savings it is not worth the head aches. Aftermarket rods are cheap now(forged). A very nice set of scat or eagle H beams are 300 bucks
