-> Now no bad mouthing about the chevy parts  they work too.



 No problemo.  Parts is parts.  Besides, the most common setups for

351W/351C strokers involve Chrysler connecting rods, International

Harvester bushings, and Chevrolet pistons.

 You could probably use standard 1.5 or 1.43 compression height Chevy

pistons with a properly offset crank, but I'd favor a standard

production Oldsmobile rod, which is 6", or the Chrysler, at 6.12".

Doug Herbert also has "Carillo copy" Chevy rods in the price range

you're talking about, at 6" long.





->  And besides, if it

-> was not made by chevy, then it is just another custom part from an

-> aftermarket supplier



 Most of the 'econo' rods come from Taiwan.
