Default 427 Rods Question
We're bluepinting a build right now. I have the block (427TO), heads (Edelbrock Aluminum 74cc) manifold/carburation (2x4's), steel crank and pistons (Aries Forged Aluminum 10-1). I was going to use Lemans rods or Cobra Jet rods but the Lemans rods are 60 grams heavier than then the Cobra Jet rods and I'm strip racing it. My motorhead suggested we use Eagle rods which fall in between the other two choices in weight. I think they also have the double snap lock's for the pins, but I'm not sure.

Anyone with opinions or experience with the Eagle rods, I would appreciate any comments, advice or alternatives. Thanks.

Bernie
