In the process of installing a set of these "the heavy versin" in my NHRA stocker 350. NICE rods. The Heavy rod is the same weight as stock. They use the ARP cap srew rod bolt. :TU: Dan
{Dan, glad to hear and please take some pictures of them for me!} Some day I will get one of those new digital cameras, but for now all my cash is going into the eng. Dan
I will ask my machinist if he has a camera. With all the end mills and lathes he may not have any money for a camera eather. Dan
I know what you guys mean. Car guy priorities are special. For example, my printer just ran out of black ink so instead of buying a new cartridge for it, I bought the fittings I needed to plumb my new wastegates! Even with slick roads and ice everywhere, the car wins!
Got the stocker updated with the new "heavy,stock weight" rods. Now its time for more gear and those 7000 rpm runs. Dan
awsome, my engine just died last sunday, rod bearings went so performance build is bumped up i'll be calling you tomorrow might be ordering a set you youre race forged pistons too
I hope that either Dan (stk3171) or Sean (sean Buick 76) can give you an unbiased opinion of these rods. In our mind, you will never find any better quality!
We have to order these is a small lot. So any further orders will be collected, once I have a minimum of 3 sets we will order our next run.
TA does not make 350 billet rods. Mark and I each have a set of the light weight Herche rods (100 grams lighter than stock), and they are the only high performance forged rod available for the 350 that does not require crank or piston mods. We will be boosting BIG TIME on these rods using light forged pistons the recipricating mass will be about 1600 grams lighter than stock and MUCH stronger. The forged pistons I'm using are about 100 grams lighter than stock so the stress on the rods will be less anyway.
