    DEADMANSCURVE my first word : truck

    Balance guy just called me .
    2 rods too light . All 8 came out of the same motor ?
    Need a couple in the 650 gram range.
    '73 and newer should be same I think .
    Any info appreciated .
    Thanks .

    He's been doing it for a long time . Said the ends would be pretty thin when he got done .
    Plus I had the top ends drilled for floating pins . Extra material gone there also .

    Old post, I realize, but I have these two from a recently disassembled '74 350 which didn't match the other six rods (nut and bolt style rod caps). Cover shipping and they're yours.
