You can read most of the specs right off the spec sheet..... 1.01" CH, 443 grams. They did lighten the skirts some internally, but they wanted to leave as much strength as possible since it hardly has any skirt length & a 1.40 R/S ratio. They could have been made little lighter, maybe into the high 420's but they'd be hand grenades. We're using a 2.50" X .866" Tool steel pin, bobweight will be about lightest you could imagine for a 500 CID motor. The rods just walked in the door on the UPS truck a few minutes ago. I'll have pics this evening of them, they are unreal.... the beam is scary looking.

Ryan,
Would you mind taking a rough measurement of the crown thickness (in the dish area) and let us know.

The Manley Pro series Tour Light Rods I had before in a 525 HP 4" stroke motor were 518 grams  They were the same length and were for a .927 pin and 2.100 large end with a 3/8" bolt. I am certain they were not as good materials as these and held up just fine. I am 100% cofident with this Rod in THIS motor. Thanks for the pics Ryan!

1640g?! WOW!
For you guys to compare, my 440" small block with Diamond Piston, Oliver Billet rods, and a Dragon slayer crank, has a bob weight of 1905g...
Yeah but these R&R rods would fold in half @ your power & RPM level.
