Going to Blow?

How well do the Continental (176?) connecting rods hold up in the big stroke (6") slow running (stock rpm +20%) Oliver 88 engines? At what power level do they start failing?

we used farmall A rods in our first one. they didn't fail. but billet is the correct way. also allows you to use a larger rod pin diameter.

Go billet BEFORE you have a problem, or you'll soon have a see-through block!
