[Fot] chevy con-rods and Larry Young Cam

[Bob Kramer]

You are correct, but this is one of the more common "variations" that people 
do. When you have Spridgets that spin 8 or 9 grand it is more than just more 
durable Carillos. One guy told me something about using Honda rods in a 
Sunbeam that were bullet proof, half the weight and added stroke, all in the 
name of durability.
