    New eagle rods or refurbish originals?

    I'm putting a mid 70s 360 together and I was wondering if I should have the stock rods resized/new bolts and ground to weigh the same or just go for a set of eagle I beams for $250. Pros/cons of both? Thanks!

    What real difference does the lsa on a cam make?

    Hey guys, Im getting ready to send my magnum 5.2 cam reground at a cam grinder tomorrow, and I was wondering what lobe separation I should change to. I think stock is 114, I was thinking going to a 110 or a 108 for a cool idle. What else does the lobe separation on a cam effect? Thanks!
