FORGED,GREAT ROD WITH GOOD BOLTS IN THEM (INSTALL NEW ONES)
RPM DEPENDS ON PISTON SIZE ,LS-6 AND 7,,,,CHEVYS WOULD TURN 7K WITH NO TROUBLE WITH 454 PISTON WEIGHT ,,,H.P. I'D GUESS 8 TO 9 HUNDRED BUT DEPENDS ON RPM'S
ALOT OF VARABLES ''

Thanks

What is LS-6 & 7???

WETTE VETTE

I second what Bobby said. I know a guy that ran them in his 700 HP blown 468 with no issues for a lot of years. He ran 6000 RPM sustained. Chevy makes some good parts.

SORRY SHOWING MY AGE ,,,LS6 AND 7 WERE MOTORS MADE IN THE 1970 ERA LS-6=450HP
LS-7= 465H.P. KILLER MOTORS IN CHEVELLES AND VETTES

JUST 454'S 4 BOLT,,DIMPLE RODS,, 11 TO 1 OR 12.5 TO ONE COMP.
SOLID FLAT TAPPET CAM ,,FORGED PISTONS RECT.PORT HEADS

NEAT IN THEIR TIME

Amen, wish I re-lived them years. I have the dimple rods in my boat. At one time prior to re-proping I turned 7000 rpm for apprx 4 minutes. Was'nt paying attention to the tach, just the speedo. Did'nt do any harm whatsoever.

Second dimple rods. I ran them in a road racer with an idiot driver. He said he never turned over 7,000 and the motor just lost power. The telltale tach showed 8,000+. It was an 8,000 tach. We fired him, fixed the valve train and ran a whole SCCA season on the same motor, and never took the pan off. I LIKE dimple rods. But you are on your own!!!
That was an L-88 427 that was blueprinted, different cam

How about in a 509 with 7/16 ARP bolts blue printed and balanced by Paul Pfaff.

IF ITS A NEW ROTATING ASSY. NO PROBLEM !! IF NOT BE SURE ITS NOT BEEN ABUSED ,IF YOU CAN ,SOUNDS NICE THOUGH !

Washed Away

My .02 If there new or reconditioned your ok. If not and they need rebuilt, go with aftermarket rods. The price difference will not be that much. Most after market rods come with floating pins which is a big plus.
