305 CID preview (connecting rods)

[Dibbons]

Picked up my custom (longer) small block connecting rods at Cunningham Rods in Gardena, CA this week. These are 6.298" versus stock length 6.123" and actually weigh only a little bit less than factory 340 rods. These will be used in the 2.96 stroke small block (de-stroked 340 motor) I am building for "Project Odyssey", my '72 Plymouth "Super" Satellite Sebring Plus. Project thread:
