350 (A) out , 350 (B) back from machine shop FINALLY . muncie etc sold . auto shopping . couple choices from members . crank , cap screw rods and diamond pistons etc at my balance guys place . couple weeks or so i think . gettin' stuff checked over and lined up .
I had the block bagged and shop has a dehumidifier , but with camera flash I can see I need to scrub down outside of block , get 'er painted then oil down the rest of it . It never sleeps .
Uh - oh ! Balance guy just called me , 2 of the rods too light . 76 350 , cap screw style . He said I need a couple in the 650 gram range . Let me know . Thanks .
Bump Still lookin' for rods ------------------- In hospital again . Geez this year is flying by . Couple blood clots and a little liquid in lungs . Trouble breathing . They were gonna do a heart Cath but sent me home with a couple new meds . Arm looks like a pincushion .
Meds , rest , pace myself . But I don't drink too much , not overweight , eat ok , don't smoke , walked 10miles a week (up until my EKG pacemaker situation ) , keep busy all day . Doing what I can I guess .
Checked out some Molnar rods this morning . Specs seem ok . Feedback - good , bad , ugly ? Marked down $100 . Sent them an email . Scat maybe ? ( Nope , looks like BBB and V6 only )
good , thanks . still got feelers out for a couple oem rods but no dice yet . oem would be my cheapest route especially since i have the rods prepped already . and they'd be good enough for my power level . yeah those molnar rods look real decent , info looks good . supposed to be oem spec compatible .
No luck on used rods so --- Email'd Molnar yesterday . They just had some blanks come in . Told them to put me on the list and let me know if they needed payment etc . Nope . On the list , they will contact me when ready , then send me PayPal invoice . If I change my mind by then can cancel . Contacted a couple people on that end , everyone seems real nice . Pretty quick info back , all seem to be pretty straight up . Just an FYI for ya .
Can they custom make the length to change compression height for you? You can dial your compression in exactly without extra decking or machine work.
Good question , I would guess that they might but not sure . It sounds like they order blanks then machine etc . Probably depends on the supplier . But I've seen blanks with extra material on small end to adjust length so maybe that's how it happens . I'll try to get info next time I talk to them . If you search "Molnar rods" it'll pop right up . The info might be there .
checked on rod order yesterday , i'm in line . couldn't give me an ETA yet . that would be a "no" on the rod length question . oem spec only . he made it sound like it would be a whole different setup and process = more money .
email from molnar rep yesterday - rods ready to ship . just did the paypal invoice . ( $710 + $20 shipping = $730+ ) we shall see . need to get my parts outa my balance guys hair .
Molnar rods showed up yesterday . Gotta get them down to my balance guy today or tomorrow . Look nice .
