Re: Mopar 383 Connecting Rods
Why bother with 40-50 year old stock junk when there are so many new rods available.By time you magnaflux, check for straightness, rebuild with better rod bolts, and bush the small end you could buy much better newer rods. And yes I've rebuilt stock rods with better rod bolts and couldn't keep the housing bores round.

But it seems that guys who are hot rodding big block Chevys and MoPars tend to stick with stock rods. Small block Chevys....you can't give away stock rods....literally. Come by if you want some. |

Re: Mopar 383 Connecting Rods
I got an e-mail from Molnar rods that Tom Molnar will submit his 383 Mopar rod (w/BBC big end, stock length) to NHRA for SS approval. Nothing for the Stocker guys with the 383. I've been told that Hale is trying to get Manley to run another set of his rods (stock pin and big end sizes).

Re: Mopar 383 Connecting Rods
It looks like a setting fixture for a cap grinder, I don't have one but it looks like a nice piece. I think you made reference to it in an early post on removing taper from rod bores.
