I had assumed that you could just replace the stock 3.2 rod bolts with ARP (or other aftermarket higher strength steel) bolts. The Raceware's I have in my 2.7 with stock rods just bolt in, and I have been able to reuse those when they still met the stretch spec.

So for the available aftermarket stronger bolts for the 3.2 (and the succeeding longer throw cranks) you need to machine the rods?

Why could not a bolt of stock dimensions but stronger steel be made?
