Subject: Re: Season's over and time to rebuild. by rklessdriver on 2013/12/12 14:44:55 My new K1 Technologies Connecting rods just got here. This is a 5.850 long rod, 2.100 journal, .927 pin, ARP 2000 bolts. Weight is 627 grams. [URL=http://s50.photobucket.com/user/rklessdriver/media/IMG_20131211_194501_zpscafb4bf4.jpg.html]  [/URL]Of the imported connecting rods out there, these are the best for material and workmanship IMO. I really would have liked to put a USA made set of rods in the engine but the cost difference was just too much. With new parts arriving every day, it's hard to not get excited. I can't wait to get this engine machined, assembled and on the dyno. Just in case some of you guys are wondering about what it takes to build something like this money wise. I'm looking at my invoices for all the parts: ONLY PARTS cost on this engine is going to be a little over $9,000.00 and I already owned the Dart block (another $1900), QFT carburator ($750), Mini Starter, MSD dizzy, Deadenbear Elect water pump.... IF I had to pay for machine work (glad dads in the business) there would be another $1200 in machine work to the block, and crankshaft. Then another $1,000 in a days worth of dyno time. Will |
