They are the football rods. Should be good for my power goals

Care package from summit. Hell they threw in a free hat

Bump. Car is at true street as of today. Those guys are welcome to post as many build pics in here as they want.

It must not be too bad, I don't see any ventilation holes in the side of the block, cracked lifter valley, or non-dangling parts and are currently dangling.

Are you planning to swap out the rod and main bolts for ARP's or just use the stock stuff that is there now ?

Just running the stock stuff for now. If I ever stroke it, I'll have to cross that bridge then.

This.

This.

Should be fine for a budget build.

[racrguy]

at 600 HP though? I dunno about that. I'm probably wrong because I'm not in the Ford engine scene, but I'd never try that in any engine I'd run. Rods are cheap, whole engines aren't.

i believe these rods to be good for my power goals. i also think some guys have made bigger power and not had issues, dont quote me on that though

Ask Brooks how much power he, "accidentally," made on a stock truck shortblock.
