Thanks CNC-Dude. I think this would be a good upgrade to a jet oiled engine. Having seen pictures of some of Stock 49's engine and parts here (they look like works of art) he could easly do the conversion if that is desired. IMHO no one can see inside the engine and there is no way to tell if this has been done by the sound ect. makes using GMC rods the way I would go for increased durabilty. To each his own. After all a lot of people think I am crazy for running an intergrated cylinder head on purpose. Jay
