: I was taking to a machinist friend today and he
: offered to try to make a set of rods for my
: 225. I really don't know what material to
: use and if I should just have him copy a 198
: rod or do a costom length. If any one knows
: of book or something that I can read to get
: to know some of this stuff, I would be
: greatful.

: A good place to get info on the latest
: "super trick" racing stuff is
: through PRI. (Performance Racing Industry)
: In fact, the last issue (Vol. #16, number 6,
: June 2001) had a good story on the latest
: developments in racing con rods. This trade
: publication is also packed-full of sources /
: ads where you can see pictures and get
: ideas. Contact them at (949)499-5413 and ask
: for a sample issue. Tell them you are a
: "racer" or engine builder or some
: auto related business person. I think a year
: subscription is $25.00 but this pub. is
: focused on how to sell race stuff to the
: racing markets more then how the parts are
: made or work.

: hi doug

: Hay Will, Are you making the pull to Hamilton?
: The car running OK?
: DD

: I am working on the car and planing on going to
: the race. I am advancing the cam to try to
: get some bottom end.

: Ahhh....may-be that explains why I can't seem
: to find a big smoky burn-out shots of you
: and your "So-Low" Cuda! (Grin)
: I will reuse this PIC for fun.
: DD

: I can't help but think that a carbon fiber
: valve cover would help too.
:
: I am going to check the bearings tomorrow then
: put it all back together. Ignition changes
: are also in the works.
