1962 Pontiac 389 FORGED RODS - set of 8 - removed from a 1962 Bonneville 389. Nothing has been done to these rods since pins were pressed out of pistons. They have not been cleaned or shot peened. We did wire brush one a bit to see if light surface rust would come off and it did. Engine as standard bore with all 8 original GM marked pistons. Engine had not run for many years. There was water rust evidence in 3 of the cylinders between the heads and the piston top, and it appeared it had suffered leaking head gaskets. We pulled the heads for parts for another rebuild. We know nothing more about these forged rods other than they are found only in 62 and prior engines and are somewhat rare now. Sold complete set "AS IS" Pictures show all 8 in #1, and each picture set of two thereafter shows each side of a pair of rods so you can view all of them totally. 541-480-9200
"IF IT WAS A OE STOCK PART ON A 62 THROUGH 66 PONTIAC FULL SIZE CAR OR A 73-76 GRAND PRIX, WE PROBABLY HAVE IT" 541-480-9200

Mini Paceman John Cooper Works (2013): first pictures
Wed, 12 Dec 2012Here we have the answer to the question: 'what would a high-riding Mini coupe-cum-SUV four-seater hot hatch look like?' Granted, it's not a question many have asked, but that hasn't stopped Mini bringing us the Paceman John Cooper Works: all 215bhp of it. Is this the fastest Mini Paceman yet? As you'd expect, the JCW Paceman sits atop the range, thanks to its 215bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged engine.
