i found these..

Yep, they dont even get manuals...only petrol autos, and the prado auto at that, and drum brakes, and semi floaters optional full float lockers....but on the inside, they get leather std....nice rods...how bad is your rod? is it worth close and honing the set??

Your not going to rev it hard enough to need anything more than stock ballanced and shotpeened rods. Decent pistons yes but the stock rods will be up to the task i imagine.
