:
: I saw in a machine shop longer rods that the
: ones in 198 cid...they are 20cm!!! from
: center to center..the piston pin is floating
: with a bushing...22 mm aproximately.
: the rod was 3 cm wide from the bottom.
:
: looked good quality, with good bolts etc.
:
: you can find these from JAGUARS...if you can
: use that long rod in a de-stroked 225?
: for what? i do not know, but it seems like you
: actually could find a better quality long
: rod maybe from a european engine...? have to
: investigate.
:
: actually i could need a rod that is in midlle
: of 198 & 225 rod...do you know any that
: would suite a 225 crank??

: There are others;
:
: Chevy (big block?)
: 6.813 long 2.315 large end bore 1.429 width
:
: forging # 3835274, 3835324, 3835609, 3701890
:
: The width can be cut down no problem.
: ---------------------------------------------

: The big problem with finding other rods to fit
: a SL6 is that the SL6 crank pin (rod
: journal) is real wide. It measures right
: around 1.210 inches so someone do the math,
: that 3 cm (or 30 mm) rod may be wide enough
: and 20 cm long, that almost 8 inches!
: Are they forged steel?
: Trouble is that I don't see many Jag engines in
: the junk yards around here!
