Connecting rod length options

[Ken Adams]

So you will need rods made for a Buck application since you're running a journals that are Buick sized.


With a stock stroke you can go up to 6.500 with no problem (if anyone actually makes a Buick rod that long).

Also, pay attention to the diameter on the little end. Standard Buick is 940 while SBC is 927.

Earl, don't many GN racers use the SBC 927" pin size instead of the Buick .940" pin size, allowing for more options over the Buick .940" size does?

Most GNs are street cars and a large percentage of them still run stock rods.


On a max effort build where budgets are huge, the .927 is a thing largely to the fact is a chevy part and availability is much greater than Buick stuff.
