Depends on what the engine is being built for, lots of variable on rod selection.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Either Crower or Carillo with the ARP 2000 bolts.... But Pat and Eric are the big block chebbie guys, I'd see what they think.... Most all my stuff is Ford, with an occasional Mopar thrown in for balance!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Never have ran a set of Oliver's... I've always had very good luck with the Crower rods, and their billet cranks...I have one with over 500 passes on it and it's ready to go back in another one!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Most of my stuff is big inch carbed stuff designed to make a lot of torque at low rpm and be consistent as heck all day long in either 8.90 or 9.90 cars.... Just never saw the reason for anything better...Never have broke a 2000!!! I think if I was still circle burning with a sprinter or running Nitrous, Nitro, Blower, or a Turbo and 7,000 RPM or greater I'd step up on the bolts..... I've even gotten away with aluminum rods and lightened cranks in a lightweight car running 9.90's, just gotta check them a lot more often.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
