    H beam rods and pistons
    « on: March 02, 2006 - 08:18:34 PM »
    Looking for a good new/used set of 440 standard stroke and length h beam rods. I am also looking for a good used/new set of .030 over pistons around 11-12:1. :dunno: :1zhelp:

    I have a set of original rods (standard length and mains). A set of .030 over Venolia pistons is hanging on the small end, too. Here is a couple pix. I have never had the rods magnafluxed, but they were in my Cuda right up to the time of my last engine build when I went with aluminum Manley rods and Ross pistons to gain more stroke. They aren't H beams, but they are nice.

    I bought a set of Eagle H-beams at the show in Indy this weekend. I am now looking for pistons. Do you have any more info on the pistons?

    They are Venolia pistons and I have the part numbers at my shop. I will look it up for you tonight and shoot you a PM. They are really in great shape - very little scuffing on the skirts and a good coating of carbon on the tops (you can tell they never saw detonation).

    Stay tuned...

    Sure. I will just post it here. I went to the Venolia web site and looked up my part number. It is shelf-stock 0.030-over forged aluminum piston. Here the specs from their product page:

    Part #   Bore    Stroke   Rod Length   Comp Dist. CC Dome    Ring Grooves      Special Notice
    385031  4.350  3.750     6.766           2.060        -3           1/16 1/16 3/16    .990 Pin

    I hope that transmitted without getting all jammed up without a corresponding heading.

    The tops of the pistons have a good coating of carbon - but not too much either. Shows no signs of detonation. They are in really good shape with normal scuffing on the skirts. I will remove the con rods before shipping.

    I hope this gives you the info you need. I think they should be worth $200 for the set of eight. Let me know what you think.

    Bummer. Oh well, good luck locating some good slugs. BTW, tell me about that shaker hood on your Cuda. GB

    No shaker hood you mean.. :clapping: It is a flat hood with a shaker bubble. I needed hood clearence for my intake and didnt want to run a big scoop. This looks kinda factory unless you are a Mopar guy and works great.
