2628699
699 rods = 726 grams

Late 318, and 340/360
645 rods = 758 grams


It should be "Grams" instead ounces.

Another opportunity to learn some more about these light rods.

There were 3 different weights for mopar small block rods as shown above.

The 782 rods (718 grams) are actually 40 grams lighter than the heavy 645 rods (at 758 grams)

The stock rods weigh that much? I'm a fan of the DV/AW 318 build, but for the amount of work DV is putting into those rods, I think I'd just get a set of Scat rods at 582 grams each (with better big end shape and better rod bolts) and call it good. I doubt he's taking off 4+ oz. per rod.
