Default Re: Ford OHV V8 (Y Block) Cast Iron Rods

Thanks Rotorwrench


Good story.Good insight too about OHV V8 rods and V8 rods.


Talked to 'The Man' about rod situation.


His 2 bits was use '62 292 rods and get the motor balanced.


Revco in Long Beach is a good balance shop.Heirs to the legendary



Electronic Balancing same city.


Than Eaton Balancing in Texas.Guy is sharp.


Don't know about Detroit midwest area, Northeast or Southeast (Dixie).


Idea is to save shipping cost.


I floated the idea about two 4 barrels on a 292 and he said 292 thrives on



one 4 barrel.


I think two 4's is tor 390 and up motors.More or less.


Whatever rod's our new 292 has in it that's what we will be running.


Maybe a little lightening for them and a trip to Revco.
