Resurrection.

What light, but strong, rod are you guys using with your Wossner pistons? I’m refreshing my spare 968 motor that does not need to conform to any racing organization’s rules. It’s a Street and Track Day car that I want to be able to rev to 7000+, safely. I’m keeping it N/A.

The cylinder head has been refreshed with larger intake valves installed; ports opened a bit.

Next on the shopping list are Pistons and Rods. And camshafts, afterwards.

Thanks

Molinar Rods, they make a lightweight version... Call Karl P at Racers Edge... There about $800 for the rods..

I use wossner pistons in my stock block. They are great. Here's what you want at the best price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wossner-For...EAAOSwmUdUWPpX

No association, that's where I got mine. They arrived perfect.

As far as rods I use Carrillo rods with the upgraded bolts: https://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Por...D-25-CARR.html

The Molnar rod is available at a dozen places around the web for 5- $600.

Where do the unfinished Molnar rods originate from?
