Any real difference between factory 340 and 360 connecting rods?

Scat, K1, Moinar ...speedmaster...eagle and whoever are all probably made in the same foundry in china....Machine is Southern Cal...by Juan...instead on Wong.......

Nascar rods fit stock mopar cranks?,,,,that is got to be news....thought they were all using Honda 1.88 rod sizes...but as I said..I don't know **** from shinola....none of my rods have ever broken...can not say the same for stock rods...3 destroyed engines from stock rods...last one with arp bolts..magnafluxed ..shot peened polished...broke on there 5th pass....yeah...45 year old rods are better...LOL...

Never said Mopar made rods to fit the Honda rod size but resizing a crank to that spec is about the same $$$ as it takes to grind a crank to a .030 undersize.

I'm redoing a small block 383 that had one rod seize on the journal and became a weapon of mass destruction... not the rods fault but the driver who felt the bearing start to seize but kept his foot in it because he was passing for the win...

I always use custom pistons so having them built to the smaller pin size and longer 6.250 length doesn't cost any more either. Plus these rods are much lighter than stock or most I-beam or H-beam cheapo rods so that's a bonus.

Did I mention they are cheaper than the Chi-Com rods? And the country that produces them (Austria) doesn't consider you and I the enemy of the state and have nuclear missiles pointed at us.

I didn't think this thread would tun into a wiener measuring contest but I guess it has...
