Car Craft 360 build

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree John.  I have never seen someone weld
the sides of the big end like that to make up the
clearance.  Also, if they would have asked around,
they would have known that we have good forged rods
for 360s out there that would have saved a bunch of
money in the build.  I am a little skeptical on some
of their prices listed.  The machine shop bill seemed
way too cheap and was missing a number of things that
would have been needed in a build like this.  The one
picture on the second page shows an engine with Indy
heads and a Hogan sheet metal aluminum intake which
was not mentioned at all.  All in all though, one of
the more accurate AMC engine builds I have seen in a
magazine.

I'm not real happy with the Chevy rods solution, other
then that I 
found
it to be a good article. Welding to the sides of the
big end of the rod
just seems ummm cobbled, and I would be interested in
following this
build in that regard.=20
