Reply To: 1955 QD 16 Rod Knock/Piston Upgrade Question

[Jeff Barsch]

I think I answered my own question, I believe the rods would need to come off since the pistons can only come out through the head side of the motor as I believe there is a stop on the crank side.  I guess if the crank was interchangeable would there any benefit to one over the other as long as both are in good shape?
