if any one here is the old fart it's me! having turned 60 in oct, but i can still twist a wrench and make it run as well as a younger guy.
as to the rods. i would before i did any thing else. i drop the pan and replace the bolts with arp ones on the mains and rods. just my personally way of playing safe as i don't trust factory bolts on a motor that will be raced. it's IMM a cheap way of helping save my block. while not a 100%er it is a helper.

yes i agree and also about how hard it is to drop a pan these days. still it's my personal way of trying to save my motor, replace the no good tty bolts with some good ones. lets remember i am a old fart and one who likes a real bolt in my motors

http://www.sullivanperformance.com/index.htm.
at least these are good parts to start with and legal in most nhra classes
