I told him a long time ago I'd take those junk rods off his hands. I guess he prefers to keep them for show pieces.

Any of the above can work fine for what you are doing.

My perference is the GRP with Pro material for long life and strength. I am a GRP WD and can sell at jobber if that helps any.

I love aluminum rods on street cars. So does Joe Sherman.

I have Howadrs alum in my street 383 and no issues, Bobby told me I could get 100,000 miles no problem.

Do the Howards that you're running have the 3/8 bolts or the 7/16. i've got an older set of Howards (new) 5.85 rods with 3/8 bolts and a set of BME with 7/16 bolts with 50 passes in a 11 sec. motor. one of these sets is going into my new 383 blown alcohol motor. Just curious which would you go with.

Zip.

Re: Rods
 

just a opinion but 2 out of how many in olivers history have been broken??

shame they weren't 6.8 2.2 chvys

For aluminum, GRP, we have bought over 70 sets this year with no failures. As far as steel, we use Manley or Callies Comp star H beams even in 632's with nitrous. They will handle 1300 hp + 1 or 2 nos systems with no problem.
