You really dont need them. We use the same rods in our 360 race engines since they are equal in strenght and they are a few grams lighter. We turn them as much as 63 to 6800 without any problems. IF you insist on doing it, I can get you the proper number to drill them to and the hole goes in the top of the rod pointing straight up at the bottom of the piston after you have your rods balanced.
