Quote: pittsburghracer- What rod journal size are you using? K1 rods look very nice. I've never held one in my hand. Just seen pics. Have you heard of Molnar rods? I've been kinda checking them out. I would LOVE a set of Corrillo's but my wallet doesn't. I don't like beating the hell out of my stuff either. That's why I've opted to run lower RPM. BTW... how heavy is your Daytona? etc....
I bought my Calias crank from Dan at Performance Only. He tried to talk me into ordering it with the Chevy journal but I already had this set of rods and I couldn't use them anyway. STUPID mistake on my part as I should have ordered the one he suggested. My Daytona is 2350-2400 pounds, powerglide with stock 1.76 gear-set, and a 4.30 rear gear. I would suggest staying away from an I beem rod in a budget rod (go with H beem) and get the upgraded rod bolts for cheap insurance.
