Wow...the vintage rules must be more liberal than ever if they are now
allowing alternate length rods.



SCCA hasB limited prep which require stock rods and cranks, stock suspension
pickup points, etc...etc...but we still get cool glass flared fenders and
slicks.



Hasn't rule always been that the alternate rods must be of the same centre to
centre dimensions?

Same combination works for me. B I am using Eagle SIR rods and custom Wiseco
pistons. B The rods are the stock length, next time I might try a shorter
skirt longer rod combination.

We expect to continue to run the Chevy Rods. It just seems to work well.

But combine this with the Larry Young cam and it is even better.

The engine comes on strong earlier in the revs and we shift 5500-6000 RPM

Seems like a brilliant combination with OEM crank.

It is the best performance we have seen with this TR4 without dipping into
my
401k.
