Cheapo LOADS OF MONEY connecting Rods

["Brien Tourville" <hh7x@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

from Randys' Reply :

So, you get the cheapest junk rods and put on your just done 
crank,
and one lunches out on you, WAS IT SAVING A LOAD OF MONEY 
ON
RODS?>?????? If you  must spend extra money on the crank in 
order to
run even the Better rods, not cheapos, is that really better than just
running the same old Forged rods that cames in the 401 to begin
with???

=====================


So I get a set of GM Forged rods that fit,
are a Tad Moosier than the stock 401 rods 
and all
for a sweet price - or maybe a set of SCAT
units - for the same Dollar -
to go with
new Bearings that have 'Street Rep' -
have the crank done by a guy here that does
crank work for Paul Newman & his friends
that frequent the Conn. track LimeRock,
an old German guy in a shop behind 
Orange County Airport -
 - and the money  the AMC price jack up would have taken
goes to a better set-up - it won't be LOADS OF MONEY
but it won't be money preened off by higher AMC pricing,
monies that eventually add up.

The 360 rods went from $375.00 to $450.00
in a Week - $75.00 mysteriously 'Justified'
Overnight somehow?

I FEEL for the AMC vendors - 
there isn't the Volume that the GM camp has
in sales.

And yes - when you want something & it is
available only in one place for X amount -
shopping around takes more time.

Yet when I see SCAT products out there
for the 'Other' guys at prices that are
in League with each other - and then
along comes AMC 'Overnight Pricing'
..........

Cheapo ISN"t  the  consideration.
