I believe there is 3 different rods between the BA/BFMK2/FGF6..

BF got the upgraded rods in the MK2 (or the F6 engine at the time)...

Then the FGF6 got even stronger rods again (not the FG xr6t).

Correct me if im wrong.

I know the bf2 xr6t's got the B series typhoon rods but sounds like the FG's got stronger rods again?

You can get a good low k FG N/A runner pretty cheap - like $700. Green tops a little more. I was told they have better valves but if that's not the case you'd just buy the best low k jobbie for a decent starting base. I'm talking for a built engine so rods and pistons are a throw away.

If you are going to build it does it matter if it has better valves as you will probably upgrade them anyway?

^^^ Possibly but you don't hear it mentioned much - maybe exhaust valves. I'm just throwing around some ideas. Whether I just oil pump gears and head stud mine or - buy a donor and build it over time. Really, my trans should be first, lol.
