I have heard,the 170 will spin 8000 rpm's all day long,I heard people using the 198 rods for their builds but I'm in the gathering parts and info stage of my slanty build for "waggin II" the car will be built with a 440 at first but at the same time it will be fitted for small block and the slanty "mill"moo-lah is a lil' tight right now so I'll build with what I have layin around for now.

Don't think I would turn 8,000 rpm, but my 170 has turned 7,200 on occasion. 198 rods are used with a 225 crank and 2.2 pistons, to give you a "long rod" combo. There are better rods available, now, from K-1. Same length as the 198 rod, but lighter, stronger, and close to the same pricing as obtaining 198 rods, and haveing them properly prepared.
