    Hi everyone.
    Has any auto manufacturing done a rod in 6.9"" in a off the shelf model.

    I have a bastard combo for my BBF in mind for my car and want to keep costs down.
    Thanks.

    6.9" is a pretty long rod. Summit Racing lists all of the con rods they sell by length, and there is no 6.9" Rod, they list a 6.865 and a 6.881 for a 426 Hemi.

    I have an old Proline Racing catalog, they make a 6.9" rod for 426/440 Chrysler's, but they are racing H-Beams, not cheap.

    Here is a listing from Flander Racing's Website:

    Lincoln 368 Y-Blocks used a7.2" Con Rod, that is about the longest stocker I can think of.

    Good Luck.

    Thanks Merc. Kat automotive products also had a off-the -self 6.9 also. Last I heard they were out of buisness or something. I need BBC journal. This is a low-budget offset grind deal. Looks like a 6.8 will work with a deck job. cant afford the custom route:rolleyes:

    Thanks again.
    Regards.
