Lonh Rods
Hi guys,
Smokey Yunick once said, "put the longest damn rod that you can in an engine." Obviously, going with long rods and a stroker crank would give a power boost. But what about putting longer rods and shorter pistons with a stock crank? It should build more power, but how much, and where in the RPM range are we talking? Is this a good practice to be doing on a street engine? And the most important question, Is there a set of long rods and short piston for a 474 (460 block) and are they justifiable in price for power? Just a thought running through my head while staring at my block on a stand...
Thanks guys,
Lee
