A 6.800" rod yet?

Anyone have the part# and a good recommendation for a dealer?

Re: Does Carrillo make
 

No One?

What about other manufacturers?

Machinist keeps telling me the chinese rods are every bit as good, Opinions?

Re: Does Carrillo make
 

Carillo will make any rod you want... you just have to pay the price. They have made rods for me that fit a 1920 Lancia... hahahahahaha.......... :D

I think I've heard of them,don't they also make modern rods with the leather bearing?

2112,
The longest shelf rod Carrillo makes for the std journal (2.200)
BBC is 6.735", part # C-427>-76735 S or C-427>-76735 H. They would make you the 6.80" for a nominal up-charge.

Oliver does stock a 6.800" BBC std journal connecting rods in various series' and price points.
E4340 aircraft billet
I-Beam Big Block Series #C6800BB8
I-Beam Big Block Max Series #C6800BBHV8
They also make a forged I-Beam E4340 Chrome -Moly rod in the 6.800".

While some machinists may consider rods manufactured in China to be adequate for certain limited power applications, any comparison to a Carrillo/Oliver/Lentz/Crower piece, from a materials, manufacturing, machining, or durability standpoint, is simply not there.

I would suggest you contact board advertisers
Laz Mesa@
Mesa Balancing
or
JC Performance Engines
for pricing on these brands.

Are you a dealer Reed?

NO........ auto restorer.

Re: Does Carrillo make
 

Found a dealer:D

6.8 Carrillos $1880 with wmc7 bolt or $2100 with Carr bolts.

What is the "S" and "H" at the end of the part # stand for. I assumed H was for H beam but aren't all top end Carrillos H beams?

Re: Does Carrillo make
 

2112,
The "H" in the part # signifies the WMC/H-11 fastener
The "S" in the part # signifies the SPS CARR fastener

Same rod, different fastener.
