What is Callies feeling on useing the small end of rod and special pistons to control lateral movement of rod on crank, so weight could be taken off sides of big of rod? This would be useing your ultra 5.7 rod in a SBC, flat top pistons, 10.8 CR, 585 HP, 485 TQ, 8500 RPM.
I plan on building a 735 cid big block chevy using a Dart 31293865 block, and your magnum crank BB542B-MG. The block has a 10.6″ deck height. What length rod would be best? 6.8″ or 7″?
Which of the Comp Star BBC 6.660 rods has the head of the cap screws placed higher for pan rail clearance, the I or H beams? Are the cap screw head placement on the Comp Stars the same as the Ultra rods? THANKS!
Hi, I was wanting to know if your connecting rods have been thru or do you guys even X-ray them. I’m looking for a new set of rods because I recently broke 2. Just trying to do my homework

I have used 6.535 Ultra I bean connecting rods and going to install new connecting rod bolts (#CALBLT160)When installing the new bolts should I torque to 75 stretch to .0055-.0065 then loosen the bolts and do it again?

Will the Ultra XD rod # U18114 or U19114 give me the most rod to cam clearance. Do you rate both rods equal or is the I Beam a better rod due to its extra cost?

Have a Callies BB Crankschaft 4.070 stroke with 2.100 rod journal. Do you manufacture a small journal rod to use it on a 9.800 low deck block with 1.64 compresion height pistons?
I purchased one of your CompStar cranks, YY*-E1Q-CS, for my Gen 3 Hemi 5.7L stroker build. The description on the crank says the rod journals are standard SB Chevy diameter and width. Do I need to purchase SB Chevy or Gen 3 Hemi (with 2.1″ big ends) rods for my set up? Thanks!
Im trying to put together a street project for my Australian buddy. It is a light towing truck project. I have the heads, and a new 11.625 brodix 4.840 borespace block is on the way. I am looking for a 5 inch stroke crank and the longest rods i can fit in it (?8.000?). It is going to run on pump gas at low rpms with a 1450 holley sniper. This will be the second truck i have done for him. Money is not a big issue with him.
I ordered a rod through Brian Tooley racing and it came directly from Callie’s. The problem I have is it was ordered as a 0.928 pin and came as a .866 pin. The card in package says 0.928 but says .866 on the rod. Can I get some help with this?
