oliver or bill miller rods
Which rods should I use in a 632? It will be used to drive about 2 miles on the street to cruise nights 2 times a month and race at the track maybe 7 times in a year. The car will be mostly a show car but it will still have about 1200 hp on motor. If I use oliver rods I will use diamond pistons and if I use bill miller I will use his pistons. I had the car two years and I only put about 400 miles on it and 300 of that was in the first month.

X2 all my td/ts buddies replaced alum rods every winter, some before that. Which seems to be common thing with alum rods. A steel rod you dont worry about that.

I have Oliver's in my SB2 and no issues, the only thing I would recommend is to upgrade the bolts on any of the brands. Getting ready to order a set for a 460ci small block with SB2 heads. Should be $1300 plus the bolt upgrade for big block Oliver's.
