Interesting info...
SDStanley, please keep me posted on your later corvair transaxle upgrade, that seems like possible solution.
63 Banshee,
Do you know how much the cryo treatment improves the fatigue strength? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It will turn a '59 Forged Pontiac rod with a Rockwell rating of 18 into a '59 Forged Pontiac rod with a Rockwell rating of 35... roughly. That is after about 24 hours. The best part about this technology is that the hardness is to the core, if allowed the time to "cook." Other methods only treat the outside layer.
