Damien, Peter, Ron, etal,

        Thanks for the intro. to an engine which is a brand new story to me
and sounds very interesting.  The big questions remain:

1) What is it about these rods which makes them useful to a Rover/Buick
engine builder?

2) Are they the same as used on any other Chrysler engine?

3) Are they readily available and reasonably priced in your part of the world?

4) Specifics on dimensions such as center to center length, rod bearing
diameter, pin hole diameter, bushed small end or not, big end width,
offset, material of manufacture, reputation for strength, etc, etc,
etc,----would all be welcome.  I want to learn as much as possible in full
detail.  There must be something to this or it would not be mentioned from
time to time.  There certainly are not any listings here (USA-California)
in any parts catalogs or performance parts catalogs I have seen.

5) Can anybody else add anything useful or fill in any of the above
information?  I do not think these rods are mentioned in Hardcastle's book
either.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dave K.
