To Quench or Not to Quench?
Yes. Sorry. The correct upper arm. lol That would be for instance 73 and up A body disc brake arms.
...and all this slant six blabber got me motivated. I went out and pulled my super six down to the short block. It's a standard bore cast crank engine....so it's an original super six. They were all cast crank motors. Fine with me because the cast crank is actually lighter. lol I certainly will never push its limits in a rat rod. I may get the rest torn down later this afternoon. Gotta rest a little first.
Hey glad I could be a motivational inspiration!
I showed my son the Buick rockers & he thought that was cool. I originally bought the car for him, but he was mistreating it & decided he wanted a P/U (which he proceeded to detroy) so I took possession of the car a colateral for a loan on which he ended up defaulting. That was back in 2011.
Now he just bought a '97 Corolla W/his own money & after walking for almost 2 years he has a much better perspective. He wants to help me work on the car as long as he can drive it occasionally & after all, when I'm gone, or too old to drive, it will be his anyway.
Do you know where I might find some (cheap) 198 rods?
The prices I'm seeing for them are so high that by the time I get good rod bolts in them & have the big ends honed, I'd have as much in them as a set of the Molnars.
I'm not opposed to using 198 rods.
This engine won't be twisting above 5500 RPM @ the most & even then only for a few seconds.
Buying the OEM rods now & reconditioning them would be the type of low $$$ impact thing I'm looking for @ the present.
