I ordered new con rods from Small Ford Spares. They have redone the rods that now have studs and nuts rather than the bolts that strip out. With the shell bearings I should be able to take the higher compression that I'm getting with the Aquaplane head. The crank had to be ground down about .005" to fit the rod big ends and the job came out just perfect.
Now I am waiting for the crank case that is having E100 cam bearing shells installed. More on that later as the shells don't fit right.
