no slant 6 love. lol

I just watched the episode.
The 198 rods used to have value to the turbo slant crowd. They use(d) them with 2.2 pistons, I think?
Several years ago, I sold a set from the 198 I pulled from my Dart Sport, to a guy who was building a turbo slant. Right afterwards, I heard that somebody started making rods for the combo. I have no idea if they still make them. The Roadkill Garage guys maybe ruined some semi-valuable rods.
Aside from the potential value of the rods, I would've bricked the gas pedal, too!
P.S. My car was a zero option car, too. Radio delete, too. Looks like someone put an aftermarket radio in theirs. Mine now has a 727, but the clutch pedal is under the rug. :)
