Gazza Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Con rod from an 8000bhp Top Fuel Dragster that spun a big end during a 4.90sec @ 298mph run earlier this year at Santa Pod. Otherwise undamaged. From a 500ci alloy Brodix-built Chysler Hemi V8. Whats it rev to? 10,000rpm... whilst hanging onto a piston the size of tin of Dulux Silk Emulsion Its kinda interesting to see a part that handles 1000bhp all on its own! Makes my steel Burton rods look a bit weedy ) Beaut mirror-finished forged alloy part incl. the rod bolts: Sweeeet workbench or study ornament. Who'll bid me £25? ** THIS ONE SOLD ** thanks Chris. ** NEW SET NOW AVAILABLE 17 OCT ** Cheers, Gary 07984 572 570 Brighton
