Funny, I saw in another thread that mentioned Scooter and I though that it was strange as I hadn't posted anything on it...

This seems like a real friendly board!

You don't by chance have a de-stroked 283 that turns 12,000+ rpms??

factory pink rods were shot peened, and magnafluxed. The pink was to indicate that. If you had a pink rod that had been hot tanked the pink would come off. You could tell if it was a pink rod by the shot peen marks under the bolt head.

whats there to say its so damn simple its funny, a 262 sbc de stroked with a custom callies crank, 2 5/8ths inch stroke, custom rods, "turbo heads" the guy has worked them over hes been doing heads for 30 +years. has a big honkin solid roller in it. all lightweight valvetrain 10 degree locks and retainers titanium keepers, a victor jr with a spacer and a 1050 dominator. he changes valve springs once a year. and goes through the mains and rod bearings one a year as well. what more do you want!!! and yes even he said once it finally goes he wont build another one because the crank alone was like 3 k !! how far do you want me to go on this? you want the color of his underwear to?
