Thumbs up

Thanx guys for the valuable input, I need to update my profile, I'm not going the stroker route now that I found a standard bore virgin 66 nos x block. Thanx Rick, FFlindling, & Professor Fate!

Rick Lake, The guy I bought them off of thought he was getting a set of untouched rods when he bought them, He got jipped when he mic'd them and found out that they (the rods) were shaved .040" each side to run on a lemans crank the original owner stated. Because the nascar crank is hard to find and a pretty dime to pocket at that.

So I'll either go w/ a lemans or most likely a scat 4340! Also Rick, The rods were balanced, peaned & polished. They (the rods) are down closer to lemans weight due to diet of balancing and so forth. Thanx again!
