Are you guys thinking that guys like Tony Pizzi and Ben Wenzel, Durbin and Sartwell, Wheatley Bros. etc, were breaking rods back in the 70's?
How about all the 283's that would leave the line on the mat back then, with an even smaller rod? I realize the Z pistons were heavier, with the dome, but Mike said they would be lightening them.
This is a street and strip, but mostly street build.
I'm sure the Chevy rods will be fine.
