We used a GRP aluminum rod..Makes for a world of possibilities
Motor didn't make huge power for sure. Ran 9.60's in a 3150lb back half Duster with iron heads. Not sure if I have any pics from the engine build it was a long time ago for sure. The engine was in the car when I purchased it and was assumed it was a 3.9" stroke deal. When I tore it down after making a few passes is when we found the 4" stroke and SBC journal, had Groden rods in it then. I replaced rods and pistons as well as new cam and rebuilt it. Was in this one from way back when...
