like I was saying it seems like when they run out of something it just almost never comes back...It’s not that SM never had the BB RPM copies...... they just haven’t had them in a while.

Was that the universal one or do they offer one for Mopars.
It was the sbc version, i'll measure the offsets and such tomorrow if you are interested in adapting to a mopar. There's a lot of blank space on the wheel to re-drill a good three hole pattern, the other 3 would likely overlap existing holes. I don't see where that would be a problem personally, but could also insert some alum plugs and make all 6 holes good.

Hope you're doing okayWell I tested positive yesterday for coronavirus so it’s not like I would be in my shop porting heads. Stay at home orders for two weeks.
Hope you're doing okay
Thanks guys. My 10-12 days of house arrest ended and I was able to go shopping today. Felt great to get out and hopefully hit the shop tomorrow. Did find out some bad news today. I was on Yellowbullet today and someone has a post about losing the sense of taste and smell. Some haven’t recovered it in over 6 months and there’s a chance it may never come back. 11 days and counting for me.
After a six day layover near Chicago, according to the tracking history, the connecting rods have arrived.

What is marked on the end of the rod bolts.(head) Are you going to have them checked out for things like center to center, out of round, are the weights pretty consistent, pin and rod journal sizing, etc. kinda curious how they check out.
I will try to get overall weights later today. I don’t have a setup to check big and small end weights. No immediate plans to spend money on inspecting them for dimensions, but will try get some measurements on my own here if I can. Quick check with a cheap dial caliper shows small end of one rod is about .985” so at least it’s correct application for small Chrysler.What is marked on the end of the rod bolts.(head) Are you going to have them checked out for things like center to center, out of round, are the weights pretty consistent, pin and rod journal sizing, etc. kinda curious how they check out.
Thanks. I’m assuming they are 7/16 rod bolts
I know several people that lost their taste and smell. Relatively mild cases of illness overall. Took 3-4 weeks to come back to about half, and another week or two to get back close to normal.
according to some doctors, the loss of taste and smell are due to the loss of Zinc in your system because your body throws what little it has at the virus and is then depleted because most people are deficient in zinc. Get GOOD zinc supplement and take it every day along with vitamin c, d3 and magnesium.
