I'm building a 572 B1 motor for a buddy. Callies 4.5" crank, World aluminum block, B1s fully ported.
It will be a pump gas motor and then spay it 350-500, Drag Week car
Trying to decide between the Manley Pro I-beams and the Oliver I-beams. Both with ARP625 bolts.
7.100 2.200 and Chrysler width
Both are rated for over 1,000 HP.
Hoping to make 900-950 on the motor and then spray it to 1,300hp
Does anyone have any experience with those and have any opinions on either one?

Olivers in my 605 plus fogger and plate kit no complaints here
8.40 @165
I bought Olivers because the Crowers were a little heavier, but they are both good rods.

I wouldn't say for sure the Manleys are made in the USA. In fact, very few rods are made here. If you are not going to pay for the Olivers, dig around and find a much cheaper chinese knock off that's not in a name brand box. Check and fit both ends and go.
I'm tired of companies claiming their junk is made here, when it's only boxed here, or at most, finished machined here.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

So you are saying Carrillos are better than Olivers or Manleys?

The problems Ron had with with Oliver rods on the 501" small block build would scare me a little.

Why not a aluminum rod? Help with the shock load of the nitrous not transferring to the crank or mains.
Carrillo are a lot better then these choices.

Is the Callies L-19 bolt any count? I am disappointed they didn't use ARP 2000 on those $1200 rods.
Callies isn't an option, they don't make a 7.100 2.200 mopar width rod, I've asked.

Aluminum rods on street motor is not a good idea, I've spoken to most of the aluminum rod manufactures and they don't recommend and tell me to go steel.
