Crower. You might want to check out Pauter and Carillo as well.

 

[SupraTrey]

Thank you.... also what HP rating of your vehicle will help.... or you know the limitations of the rods themselves.

Shot peened stock rods have done 813 to the wheels. Stock rods are good for whatever you can throw at them.

stock!

see thats what i love about DR J.... he thinks the same way i do..... i love using a stock block to its limits.... but unfort. i blew mine up.... time to go nuts..... I just ordered my cunningham rods...... custom fabricated....... details to come but if i told ya....then everyone would know about my rebuild. Anyone use these rods?



Edit: Just re-read the post...... hey Ron glad to hear you use these rods.... what are your opinions/suggestions on them....thanks bud.

Trey, why did you choose Cunningham if there are others off the shelf?

well if you want you can Email me Jeff.... i will tell you. All i can say is its gonna be a very custom application and these guys are very up to the job and hand.

 

[drjonez]

remember that its not HP that kills a rod....its piston speed (i.e. revs).

Crower. The best out there

 

[SupraTrey]

exactly Dr. J.... im going with these...... http://www.cunninghamrods.com custom application...... i need shorter rods than stock. These guys seem pretty impressive.

So Trey, What you're trying to do is lower your compression ratio, or speed up your acceleration, am I right. That's all I can really see using shorter rods would be beneficial for, as, it is going to shorten your stroke, if I am correct. If I'm wrong, someone let me know, but it sounds like Trey is trying to streamline his engine for a drag racing application. I'm very interested in hearing what this project yields Trey. And as long as I'm replying, I like crower.

They are very stout rods. I have the rifle drill option (drilled along the beam for pressurized piston pin oiling) which was like 30 more for each rod, IIRC. Make sure you specify your cylinder bore size, so the rods' big ends' will slide thru the cylinder

:stupid:

stock rod will work fine, aftermarket is just as strong if not stronger but less weight being slung around on the rotating assembly. It'll hold up better, but stock rods will do the job just fine..

Here is the best book I have ever read about engines. Its for mopars, but it applies to all engines. It gets into all kinds of great stuff. Then again, I'm partial to mopars.

[drjonez]

mopar or no car, brother!

 

[SupraTrey]

the shorter rods are going to fit my application becuase im stroking the motor even more..... it will be about a 3.23liter when i done. Compression ratio will be right around 8. There is more details but im kinda keeping it on the DL till i get done.... gotta leave something up for suprise right.....
