  I don't think this is for us,but who knows.If i wanted to turn the tires,i would get a used 5.3 with harness a L85e and a turbo with a cooler  probably not cost as much as all this hot rod 6..On the other hand i have seen a fellow that cut two double hump chevy heads and made them fit a six . Crazy machine also had two 4 barrels on it.Now that would shake the timbers out of our old  chevy's now wouldn't it

Once you try to apply logical thinking to hot rodding the whole thing falls apart. There is nothing logical about it. We do it because we can. In 1940 aBob Ruffi made a one way pass on a California lake bed of 146mph. His engine was a 1925 Chevrolet 4 cylinder. The rest of the hot rod world chased that for years mostly with V8s. 4,6,or 8 cylinder it's all just a game we play and in the end none of us here are going to be the fastest man on earth. So how we choose to go relatively fast doesn't really matter and is our own choice.  ::)

The interest in the long rods is for the guys in the SDRA.  We run inline motors and are always looking for some help with these things.  I would like to find a good source for 6" to 6.3" rods for 250"chevy's.  Also something in the 7" to 7.5" for the 292" chevy's.
Thanks

 My biggest pet peeve is people with pet peeves. ;D But yes, a Red Hat garners respect no matter what. They are not easy to come by. Different strokes, different bores, and different number of cylinders and different anything else as long as it's not different just to be different. Just being different is not logical. Is his where I came in? :-\ ::)

I ran across this old topic about long rods for 292 Chevy sixes. I don't know what happened to the original guy and his plans but Tom Lowe does offer longer than stock rods for 292 also forged Ross pistons and a lot more.http://www.12bolt.com
