H beam rods- thanks

**GLHSKEN** · 03-18-2007, 09:44 AM

Ordered today. Looking forward to assembling the next engine. Ahh it was nice to actually get a tax refund this year...

**8valves** · 03-18-2007, 10:29 AM

Oh man, you reminded me about taxes. I hate doing mine now, since I have residency in MI but pay in Ohio as well... it's a nightmare! It's probably not as bad as I make it out to be, but I really do hate it. Problem is with the income level I'm at to pay someone to do it you lose like half your refund!!

Anywho, you'll love them when you get to see them, and a 100 gram weight loss off each rod is totally worth it!

**GLHSKEN** · 03-18-2007, 10:32 AM

So far the crank (90 2.2L cast), rods and pistons are all purchased. About ready to pick a block to take to the machine shop... Fuel system, alchy system still need to be purchased.

It's starting to come together.

Mine too,

I cheated and got Eagle EDZ SRT rods, they were so cheap, I couldn't refuse,

Hopefully Chris can let me know when the pistons will be done.

How about we ban you? H-Beams or stick with stock.

**2.216VTurbo** · 03-19-2007, 11:59 AM

I hope that wasn't MY set you got, I missed last months SoCal TD meeting and Chris had a set of rods there... Everone who had them in their hands at the meeting said they were very nice pieces

Good machining, good hardware and as already mentioned 90G lighter than stock

**BIGBRUDDA** · 03-19-2007, 12:06 PM

GEE KEN that sounds like alotta "unbreakable" stuff

**Austrian Dodge** · 03-19-2007, 12:23 PM

Alan, I'm sure that they were "yours" LOL

They are H-beam,

Spending a bit of money with Chris, this should be a fun motor-cometic, Wiseco's, cryo and coat my cams, blah blah blah.

Chris Assured me they were!!

Yep Brudda... figured I should.

**8valves** · 03-19-2007, 05:53 PM

Chris wouldn't have Eagle rods with him... he would have his billet rods.

**2.216VTurbo** · 03-19-2007, 05:55 PM

If I call and get one of those 'we sold the last set' deals, there is gonna be some serious love lost between TU and myself...

Chris, there are MORE sets right???

Of the three sets I recently received two have sold in the last week. Alan, since you haven't actually PLACED AN ORDER yet that third set is still up for grabs

. I suggest placing your order soon because once we reveal who our mystery "Brand-X" manufacturer is we expect to sell out of our existing stock fairly quickly.

Chris-TU

**turbovanman²** · 03-20-2007, 12:38 PM

Chris's rods would have been nice but I recently found money doesn't grow on trees,

**Austrian Dodge** · 03-20-2007, 01:46 PM

really? you should come over to my place, i have a tree in front of my window LOL

I thought I HAD placed an order directly with the owner, I have the $$ I told you I wanted a set, you said you would bring them out. Seems pretty strait forward to me. Don't lump me in with the 'gee, I really want something, if only I had the money' crowd. Thought knowing eachother 15+ years counted for something
