IMO, there was no need to pull that car out of gear. Ran those epeeds. Never had a rod problem.
Apples to onions unless you ran those speeds back then - the accident happened in 1964. It would have been a lot more important then to protect the connecting rods back then - there were no Carillo, Eagle, Manley, etc. rods a credit card away in the mid 60's. Rod failures were common then - even getting good bolts were a luxury. And many trophy class racers commonly used the lightest rods they could find just for that little edge in HP and to help them rev just that little bit quicker.
Yes, back then with stock max wedge rods and bolts. Maybe I was just lucky
You might have been using a little more "user friendly" gear ratio and a tighter converter, too. Stock rods that tolerate tall tires and a 4.10 may become "alergic" to shorter tires and 5.38's.
