Jim the first thing I would do is swap the stock rods out and put in a good set of H beams be just a little more than having your old rods rebuilt.. but great insurance.....

I'd agree with coug, spend a few $$ on some better rods and let'r fly for both of them.

And on the KB's for the second build are they Forged or hypers? if hypers ditch'em and get some Probe forged one's they are a much better piston for the money.

460 builds Empty EAGLE RODS

Post  new2460 July 15th 2010, 12:51 pm

i have some eagle i-beams from another build. would they be allrite for the drag build? i dont plan on turning more than 6500 rpm's. would i have to rebalance them? i'm gonna have to keep the stock rods for the galaxie build because i'm out of cash. thanks for the suggestions jim. p.s. i'm in redford michigan.

use the I beams for the Street build and get some Hbeams for the Race motor. they are about $300-400 and you may even be able to find a good set used.

You it will need to be balanced

affraid Redford! They have the biggest write up numbers in the state, better watch for the po-po Laughing Livonia is the worst, stay the HELL outta there (for your own good). They're the biggest morons you will ever deal with, I was pulled over by one and I had to laugh. Well see you at Milan!

Got my spots reserved just north of 12 mile on Woodward... one for me (either my 1970 Torino GT, or 1979 Bronco) and the other for my father and his 1966 Galaxie 7 Litre (factory 428 4 speed)... cant wait!

sorry for the hijack!
