5 Mk I incl Gordini Gtt con rods compatible with Gordini turbo?

Hello All,

From what I can gather with the info I have found, the con rods from a gtt will fit the gordini turbo engine.

Can anyone confirm or deny this, has anyone tried them either way? Looking at a set of h beams for the Alpine mock up when the time comes, gtt rods more available than Alpine and nuch better price. They are only going in a naturally aspirated gordini engine so will be totally over rated for the job!
Any one bought a nice set of rods lately?

Cheers

Simon
 
Yes they are same dimensions the engines are basically the same bottom end just a different cam. The std rods / crk are very good as std just balance them and they are good for 7500rpm. Its the valve train that requires the mods.
 
Thanks Ren5gord,
That's what I needed to hear, I would have used the standard rods, but there are two different kinds fitted to the engine, and I know when I take them to the shop to balance they will most probably carry on. I'm also not keen on building an engine with unknown parts! It's all good!

Thanks

Simon
