[Roadsters] Mercedes rod bearing

[philip erickson]

I have used Mercedes rod bearing...Been a long time...I think they are a little wider and the tang is in a different position (side).....otherwise almost the same size.
   
  I have used chevy and other rods (after market - mostly CROWER as they are here is San Diego)  on "offset" crank grinds (stroker).
   
  One thing that is not intutive is a smaller diameter crank journal is better for higher RPM.  It has to do with the speed of the bearing wiping the crank.  You might also gain from the lighter rod and you could also increase the length for a different ratio.
