You can check out what I used for my engine:
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...695444&page=32 When we balanced them, it turned out they were all within weight spec and needed no additional massaging for weight matching. Very nice set of rods. |

on a stock, to mild build stock rods are fine, and the >> cheap forged rods <<<< ( SCAT,CAT) always need more balancing and resizing.... Buy some lightweight pistons and spend money on balancing IM (HO) ! |

I see the forged rods as insurance. And they were comparatively priced to having the old factory cast set completely redone and buying new rod bolts, too. Forty year old cast iron can have unseen stress flaws just waiting to find the most expensive part to take with it. (your matching # block). The rod set I got was perfeclty weight matched right out of the box. On my prior HO, i did reuse the forged pistons that the prior builder installed. It worked out fine, as they didnt need any further massaging for weight, since they were previously balanced.

so anyone need a nice, blasted clean drivers side 72 HO exhaust manifold (no cracks)? It is useless to me since I am buying oversize new pair. I will keep the bad passenger one as a cool garage ornament.... if anyone could use I would trade for ? or go cheapo....

Nicely optioned '72 HO Formy! Tilt Formula wheel, gauges w/ tach, Y99, both consoles, KR Rallys, Safe-T-Track, and so on . . . Just like what I'd have ordered, minus the cordova roof, add the factory spoiler and change to the "tuxedo" guts. Looks like it's not TOO far gone to be salvageable . . .

very nicely optioned car, lots of the good stuff without the a/c to get in the way and a great color in the Sundance especially if the vinyl top were left off. Looks like it's running and driving well enough to possibly do a driven resto on it somewhat like what NJSteve is doing to his current black Formula.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
