Default What are Merc Racing Rods worth

I have a set of Merc Racing rods out of my 575 SCi. The part number is 614-8M8020323. I don't know what they are worth. They are all OK but the list price is outragous at $1896.40 a set.

Got ya. Well, in that case, summit has Manley H beams for about $700 a set. I guess it gives VP an idea of what they are worth ( new at least).

You can get the equivalent of those rods through supply houses all day long for less than $500 plus the shipping.
