You're full of crap, Jack.  I said 1967, 350 rods, had 5/16 rod bolts. Even 
if they were 11/32, you missed the whole point. You ASSumed I meant 327 rods, 
but I SAID 1967, 350 rods.  They were only made that year. 1968 they became 
3/8 bolts...
 JS> And then he insists he built a motor with some 327 rods and some 350
 JS> rods.
I used 1967, 350 rods mixed with 1968-70 rods. 68 and up rods have 3/8 bolts. 
 You've got 327 on the brain...
 JS>  I just asked how the crank journals were ground since the 327
 JS> used 2" journals and 350s use 2.100 journals. How would you build
 JS> something like this?
You wouldn't.  But if you'd had paid attention, you might have learned 
something instead of riding your high horse...
 JS>  As I recall, there were a few early 350s that used 327 rods and a
 JS> small journal crank, but with a 3-1/2" stroke.
This was never done. To my knowlege, there are no small journal 350's. 
JS> But these were just 327 rods (with the 11/32 rod bolts.) He said he
 JS> used rods with both the small bolts and big (3/8) bolts, so it
 JS> doesn't seem like it was just some early 350/327 rods....
 JP>> Because (for good reason) Roy refuses to agree with you and a
 JP>> catalog he
 JS>
 JS> The catalog I referenced was the ARP catalog, pretty much the
 JS> standard of the racing industry. It shows rod bolts for just about
 JS> every domestic motor (and now some imports). They show rods bolts for
 JS> 327 and 283 Chevy, the same bolt, at 11/32, not 5/16. Why? Because
 JS> the 283s and 327s all used 11/32. (The only 5/16 I can recall is the
 JS> 289/302 Ford.) I have hundreds of 327 and 350 Chevy rod cores, and
 JS> some 283s, not a 5/16 bolt in the bunch! And again, how can you put
 JS> both 327 rods and 350 rods on the same crank? Check any engine
 JS> bearing book. 327s use 2" journals, 350s use 2.100.
 JP>> has to wallow in ignorance ?? I saw the message, understood what he

 JS>
 JS> OK, then tell me. What size is the big end on a 327 rod. 2.1247
 JS> right? And a 350? 2.2247. How do you put both on the same crank? Just
 JS> half your life? You've got some catching up to do ....  ;-) I'm not
 JS> trying to be a bad guy here, I'm just pointing out inconsistancies.
 JS> Did I misread something?
YUP!  The inconsistancies are in your brain...Maybe you need lessons in 
reading comprehension...have a nice life wallowing in you stupidity and 
ignorance.
... Beware!!   Tagline thief in the echo....
