Where to get rods and hangers

AYs are almost identical to DRs, so buy them instead.

I've been using QJets on everything from race to street to tow motors and 90% of the time DRs work the best right out of the box on 305, 350 and 383ci SBC applications.

The tip diamter of the rod is one factor in choosing the right rod- it will determine your WOT A/F ratio. HOWEVER, the shape and diamter of the tapered part of the rod makes a BIG difference in the engine's throttle response. DRs and just about perfect for this rought outta the box.
