Not hard to come by at all. Just very expensive.

I just had the idea....

What about B16A rods? it appears they are only .015" longer than D15b7 rods.... I'm going to play around with the compression calculator... I could be on to something.

rod length is only one measurement

JB Weld accounts for differences in tolerances, machining, etc. I use pinto rods.

You know, if rods could be found for cheap for a d15b7, it would make for a super cheap build. I mean most people THROW AWAY D15s. so most of the time I could probably source a block for next to nothing.
