Mopar Performance was a shell company. They didn’t make anything, they merely contracted it out and marketed it under the MP name. Some of it was good stuff, some was junk. Their “tech” people couldn’t engineer their way out of a wet paper bag. Mopar people are unfortunately numb to the reality and heavily bought into the hype.
Yeah, I learned that in 2003 when I bought some hemi blocks from them. Doug is right on the Molnar stuff. I’ve used a lot of it. As for your rods, there’s not much out there on them. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...es-the-mopar-performance-connecting-rods.html
Hey Doug, that's another good thing for me to hear, as my builder specd the 4.5 stroke crank and rods from Molnar for my build. I got a lesson on their rod design from Ed at Molnar as well as the crank oiling I was asking about.
I agree that understanding how/why things are done make you feel better when they're are explained.
Agreed. I have an excellent alternate, but the guy who I started with has been very good to me and understanding, and I warned him in advance that I ask questions. I don't want to hijack this thread so I just wanted to thank Doug and then butt out.Don't scare off the engine builder!!!!
