Connecting rod length theroy......

The individual I interface with runs the Pro Stock NHRA circuit full-time. Rod ratio is in the 1.50 range.

Remember that deck heights are in the 9.400" neighborhood - no room for a long rod. Rods are Carrillo steel, NASCAR rod bearing, small block Mopar mains.

The 'cup' stuff was/is at 2.00" for the main bearings...I aint got no idea what a small mopar is. When the Ford stuff went to the 302 2.250" main I thought that was small...shows what I know

i know some truck pullers that use a "honda" rod bearing,whatever size that is.

Ford cup W cranks also used the 1.850"

Our small block is 1.74 and top sportsman car is 1.34 both work fine.
