$100 a good deal for 8 Donovan forged aluminum connecting rods?

Only way to tell.

Measure the length from 'Center-to-Center' between the Rod Journal and
Piston-Pin Bore.

The 'stretch' is what we're looking for here.

Back-in-the-Day, as a general 'Racers-Rule'

You usually got '1-Year' out of a set of Aluminum-Rods in a Modified Production
Engine that was run hard.

I ran a front engine dragster with SBC with alum rods... ran 8.90 @150 for 4 seasons...@30 runs a year.... no issues... street motor totally diff story...:sign12:
