Anybody else see some similarities between Mark, and MdFormula350?
Both from Maryland. Both went to the "Mark A Shields" school of post whoring. Hmmm...
j/k!

badgta; What were your cam/rod problems? Were they normal for a 383?

nope

when i ordered them i thought damn!!! scat 4340 forged rods for 219!! woohooo, but man was that a mistake......

don't get me wrong, theyr'e damn good rods, but just not a stoker rod......

i still had to grind them a little even with a small base circle cam..... and thats not saying much on scats part....... oh well, it's done now, as long as the clearances hold their place she should live for at least 100,000...... hopefully......
