Eagle SIR I-Beam Connecting Rods
Why spend time and money reconditioning your stock rods—when you can upgrade to a set of Eagle SIR I-Beam connecting rods for less? They're forged from 5140 steel for outstanding strength and reliability, and they come in both press-fit and bushed pin models. Their lightweight design places less stress on the rest of your rotating assembly to increase engine life and better handle high-rpm use. The rods are X-rayed, sonic-tested, magnafluxed, and shot-peened to stress-relieve the metal. They come with 12-point ARP Wave-Lok rod bolts and are weight-matched to within two grams. The big end sizing is controlled by in-house CNC equipment to ensure precise machining and accurate fitment. Order the individual rod or set recommended for your year/make and engine application.

Crower Dart Block Raised Seat Roller Lifters
Many of the late model blocks have taller lifter bores, which means standard seat height lifters with an offset require manual notching of the lifter bore for pushrod clearance. Crower developed a lifter with a +.300 in. higher pushrod seat to solve this problem. Crower Dart block raised seat roller lifters are taller to clear lifter bore and have lightweight billet alloy bodies paired with a robust stainless steel alignment blade. They feature High-Pressure Pin Oiling (HIPPO), allowing more oil to be delivered to critical high-load areas for greatly improved cycle life.

Our Summit Racing™ generator-to-alternator conversion brackets will get you started on your way to a more robust charging system.

Select the correct Summit Racing™ generator-to-alternator conversion brackets designed for your classic vehicle. Bracket kit notes: * 2-piece kits * No hardware included * No changes to the stock mounting location--factory generator brackets are simply removed, and our alternator brackets replace them * Brackets will not work with the later mini-type alternators, like the CS. * Factory original 6-cylinder motors only--totally stock with generators * Since the vehicles of this time were never wired for alternators, you'll need to do some wiring. Here at Summit™ we offer many conversion harness kits to change the wiring to fit your external or internal-type alternator. Select one to complete your installation.
