I wonder if that had any influence on the old 427T tall deck truck engines design concept. Using a short stroke , long rod combination. I know they had the 4 piston ring deal, but wonder if they knew those engines were going to need to last in heavy duty commercial trucks, with short gears, and not wear things out

I remember those things in a lot of older dump trucks, those old bombers that would be screaming at like 4k rpm to do 55mph ...lot of revolutions per mile on those things

Had the pieces at my shop for one and used the blow through carb and intercooler on one of my small blocks it was cool.

manufactured for me Mike... same as Howards and a few others are doing... they're great rods and reasonably priced... I'm running them in my own engines as well as several other builds out in service...

I will say this... they are great quality, priced right and the finish machining is done here in Toronto... as I said earlier, we've been using these for many years... seeing that I'm not the only guy doing this, I respectfully decline to name drop the front end supplier...
