Wall hanger rods
By Royce Peterson - 04/12/2005 10:54:23 AM; IP 66.161.213.63
Those rods are like LeMans rods in that I would not put them in one of my motors unless they were brand new. Who would want a ticking time bomb in their motor? Those things might have won Daytona and Darlington already and been retired due to someone having good sense. The metal may be fatigued to the point of imminent failure.

Plus they need a different bearing and will only work with the SK 427 crankshaft due to their width. I say they are nice conversation pieces.

Plus they are way heavy. In my opinion a set of C7AE-B rods from grandma's 390 Galaxie with a new set of ARP bolts are a much wiser choice for any engine build of mine. If I was going over 6500 RPM a set of Eagle rods with the premium series ARP bolts would be the way to go.
