Looking for 617 Connecting Rods

I am looking for a matched set of connecting rods for a 617.

I spun the bearings earlier this year due to a broken cooler line.

I found a nice standard crankshaft and am now looking for some rods, the original ones look like they took some heat from the bearing spin so I do not want to take any chances.

Thanks for any responses!

Check the for sale parts on here (I remember a few people parting out 617s)

A couple guys over on STD have some broken 617s as well

No, the wrist pins on an N/A motor is smaller in diameter.

I have a 617 turbo that is basically stripped to just the long block. if you pull it, I'll let it go real cheap like $50 take the tranny too.
