I actually just came across this yesterday. Import data for Molnar. They import from at least 2 different Chinese companies. I only checked a few shipments, though. Sunglory and BW, but I can't recall what BW stands for.blykins wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 7:23 am @ Geoff2: You'd lose that bet....
Totally different parts and quality of parts. You won't find any Eagle parts in my shop.
@ the OP: I specialize in Clevelands and have tried about every combination of rotating assembly parts out there. I have (2) 408C's in here now. Both use Scat crankshafts. One uses a Scat 6" I-beam rod and the other one uses a Molnar 6" rod.
Both will clear the cylinders without grinding.
If you use a larger H-beam rod, such as an Eagle, or a Scat, you will need to grind.
FWIW, I've never ran a 3.850" stroke, always a 4". The wives tales about extra stress in a Cleveland with a 4" stroke are just that.
There's another good Cleveland forum...... www.the351cforum.com I know the owner personally.....Lots of hard core racers and engine builders there with tons of Cleveland experience, both factory and aftermarket/out-of-the-box.
Not for sure but I think much of that may have to do with many companies not wanting average Joe consumer to know where base production takes place or who/where there distributors are. Some won't even do drop shipments for that very reason.midnightbluS10 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:08 pm So someone posted on Molnar's Facebook page asking about a rod they have on display and whether it was from Sunglory. He deleted it. Wonder what's up? His website says they're machined in the US, I believe. Is it possible they aren't and that's what he didn't want people finding out?
