They're out of my old 427 SBC Dart motor.... but they're probably stretched a few thousandths now... oh -- and out of round on the big end... and rusted up too.





I still have the COLA 4" forged crank they were hung on....

Ha, don't be sorry. Mike says they are usable with $150 of machine work and the 2000 rod bolt upgrade (they have the 8740 now). They don't look that bad but like you said, rods are pretty critical.

Crower's high end stuff is damn expensive... but their Sportsman stuff is pretty reasonable.

Megan Fox... not a bad choice there.
