I would rather use LY rods
OK as long as you dont ever get bitten by the Go FAST BUG.
put it together as cheaply as possible. Press the pins so you dont have to worry about them again. keep the revs down and go have some fun.


But me personally, if I was gonna race it, I would put good rods in it.

ok guy's im really gonna make your heart stop with this one. the rods are the extra heavy sixpack rods lol and im not turning more than 6000 to6200 thatsit. just tryn to get back racing rather cheap and like i said the machine work is not costing a thing. i made a trade deal for work. if i can get away with removng the stock piston's and putn those on with out re balance i will do that.




Have the pistons floated to the pins, have the rotating assembly balanced and it should last a long time.
I ran this cheap 446 combo for 5 years with some home ported 516 heads, it ran a best of 10.80 in a 3400# Duster.
It would still be together but my friend bought the engine and put some better heads on it but he overtorqued the studs and pulled the threads in the block.

Thanks, I got the engine back in a trade deal so I'm going to repair the threads, clean it up, and run it with some open chamber heads in my 71 Power Wagon.
