connecting rods.

That's just one of the many evils of not having frame connectors. I just didn't think the motor was all that (it really didn't seem too impressive to me), so I didnt get in a big hurry stiffening up the body. It had airplane gears in it, idled about 700 rpm, and I was driving it back and forth to K.C., KS. every day - about 50 miles one way. It drove like a sailboat so I just didn't get excited about frame connectors. It wasn't like I was drag racing it all the time so I convinced myself that I wasn't tearing anything up. Now I have little different outlook on the whole thing - believe what everybody tells you about Mopars needing frame connectors...
