Connecting Rod Search

[Jeff Rand]

Putting together a stage 2 and I need a 6.0"- 6.3" long, narrow journal, off center rods (would perfer the 6.3" with a pin of .927"). Not in any rush so if there something that might be available in the future please keep me in mind.
Thanks,
Jeff

I believe Childs & Albert has one. I got some for my on-center application (6.25") and I recall them having some for off-centers, too. However, do note that when trying to order you'll probably just have to go by dimensions and then they should be able to find an off the shelf rod that will work. Mine were for a FORD.
