Magnum rods

[pistolpete1934]

Could someone tell me the weight of a stock 5.9 magnum connecting rod? Thanx

I just balanced a setup a week or so ago. The lightest in the set was 519.5 grams big end, 228 grams small end. This set was very close in weight across all eight rods. In fact, all the magnum rods I have done have been very close.

Damn, thats some fast specific info right there! IIRC magnum rods little ends are a shade more narrow than LA's for the restomod crowd.

Thanx Mopar Sam... I had a chance to get a brand new in the bags Scat 2-ICR6123-2124 rods for 175 bucks Canadian, about 125 US so I went for it. They are clearanced for stroker cranks, big end 435, small end 168... just wanted to compare to the stockers...

Would still weigh it all. Never assume that another set will be the same.
