This doesn't add much value to the post in terms of info, but here's a 565 on the dyno at Mercury Racing. I always zoom in on people's dyno screens :) No luck here.

I see, your home page says it all. After you said that and Danville IN, that was my first assumption. Kudos to you. :drink:

Why does this site obliterate the videos?
Well once quoted the link showed. Anyhow, WTF

His link works for me. Not a whole lot to thr vid as he mentioned, but I guess better than nothing. :)

Yeah FWIW, it's on my end.
At home on PC last night, Firefox browser, video shows. Didn't have time to watch.
Today at work on PC, Firefox browser, video doesn't show.
Now on same PC, Edge browser, video shows.

Funny thing when I post to this site from my phone, it botches the wording badly. I read what I'm going to post carefully because it has bit me so many times....then I post it and its missing characters and correcting words. It drives me nuts.

Thank link to the video shows fine for me on my PC, but doesn't show on my phone.

Not the rod I was hoping for, but certainly up for the task Mercury designed this engine for.

For clarification this is the 520/540 rod.
Looks like a Scat Pro Comp (or later called Pro Stock) 4340 I-Beam. It does have an ARP 2000. I dunno what they will hold as I’ve never used a rod like that…maybe 750?

That's what you got when you ordered the Merc part number?

Id rather have a GM dimple than that thing............:angry-smiley-038:
