A-Bodies...Big Motors / New Hemi Duster - FINAL ASSEMBLY

Old Man Mopar said

Aluminum rods are strong and light (and good at absorbing shock)
but historically don't have the duty cycle rating for regular street
use that a good set of steel rods do.

The Eagle or Scat rods are more than strong enough for most any
real-world application. Probably as good as anything.

If you are building your once-in-a-lifetime screamer/keeper then get a
premium set of steel rods from Oliver or Carrillo.

Thanks for your input guys. It definately is not my once in a lifetime screamer. I figure this could be a low budget build to enjoy for a bit. I have everything and it's all balanced and ready to go. I still plan to tear it down to check clearances and sizing of the crank journals.

I have run Eagle H beams in my BBC for the last 12 years and 40k hard miles. I was going to do the same for the GTO, but I hit this little 'speed bump'.

OK back on track. Lets see more of the Duster's assembly.
