[Fot] Rods

[Greg And Alison Blake]

Joe,

Ditto on the rotating assembly for the silver TR3. The infinite choices on rods and rod bearings was what ultimately convinced me to go that route.  

I shift at 6500, usually:)

I try and shift @ 6200 which I don't consider "high" revs when one considers that the NASCAR guys turn upwards of 9000 with Ford motors.  I don't know the selection of bearing types for the P & C rods, but the selection for Ford rods is infinite, maybe another +.
