Hey list. I have seen somewhere an ideal connecting rod length based on the stroke length. I dont know if it was 1.70:1 or something else but it was in one of those Datsun "Hot Rod" books. Example if

Smokey Yunick thinks you should run the longest rod you can fit in the engine (and he has some fairly compelling evidence to support that claim). The NASCAR guys have experimented with it and come to

If the piston stays at TDC and BDC for too long the engine will loose some power. Specially in engines with less than 8 cylinders. This can be reduced by using shorter rods but if the rods are too sh

Yes, it makes a difference even for the street. I have tried this in an L28. Not a big deal but less wear on the piston skirt too. U & R engines already have very long rods compared to what later eng
