Larry,
I think the time has come for you to build a CJ. With the new aluminum police interceptor intake that's legal, the big 780 quick fuel carb, high port edelbrock heads and the 525 cheater cam, this thing should be able to run 9.50's in B/SA. The chevy rods are a bonus too and you should be able to spin it up to 8500. The aftermarket crank rule helps. I'm trying to the the honda rod approved for the FE and working with Wineberg on a new 41 lb crank. Should work well.

By the reaction of some people, the newly approved factory replacement parts for the AMCs is heresy, but the cancer of "parts creep" is everywhere.

Todd if the cranks can only be turned to -.070 under OEM size, the "length custom" rod with housing bore of 2.325'' would have to be installed with a four pound hammer. It would be my quess that unless great care was taken during assembly the assembler would would collaps the top and second ring land before the bolts and cap would be close enough to be tightened. Once tightened the broaching process of the crankshaft will be compleated.

Rusty the .525/.525 cam is the 427 one or two four barrel you know 410 and 425 hp. The "cheater cam", your words not mine, is .527/.527, it can check .525/ .525.

After some thought I believe the engine stand or the snout of the crank would break before all eight piston and rods were in place and torqued.

Larry, "Cheater Cam" was probably a poor choice of words. I like "enhanced cam specs" better. I think the 427 guys need to get the pencil and paper out and go after that extra 2 thou. That would certainly level the playing field with the Drag Packs, Copos and new CJs.

Rusty,
Crower already has the honda rod in motion for the FE's. They've submitted the paper work to NHRA for approval and its supposed to be accepted next year. I've already got my name on the waiting list with Crower. They are going to call it the "Larry Hill" rod
