And check out that 750+ gram piston!
...and you wonder why they had rod/rod bearing problems back then....
For the 429 marine application engines of the '70's, these were a forged, one valve relief, flat top, and with pin weight-in at between 950 and 1050 grams!
And to go with the "in-period" heavy pistons, check out the mass of the "NASCAR" rods (427), but then if we crossover to the BOSS 429 "NASCAR" rod examples all one can say is...............wow!
But not to leave out the "Small Block" guys, take a look at the "Trans-Am" BOSS 302 rods, their pretty beefy, for something with a 5.315" center to center length, often weighing in at the upper realm of seven hundred plus (750-780) grams each.
