Fred, what is the problem with this auction: the connecting rods ´s shape?
Fred, what is the problem with this auction: the connecting rods ´s shape?
First, the pictures are not clear enough to see the forging numbers or shape of the rod bolt heads to determine that these are Hipo and not Boss 302 versions. Second is that I am not a fan of partially polished rods on the beams. I question whether these are a matched set as for my use, there is only 5 rods.

Are they good for a 1964 December kcode engine ?
I don’t see the piston oiler?
Are they good for a 1964 December kcode engine ?

Not all Hipo 289 rods have the piston oiler that you mention. Originally, the Hipo 289 rods were press fit to the pin. The conversion of these rods to full floating has already been done and cannot be undone. These are also steel to steel floaters, which are less expensive to do compared to ones that are done with bushings. My issue with rods that were converted is that the retainer grooves for the pin retainers need to be machined in the pistons if they do not have those grooves. I have seen too many piston pin retainers come loose and score the cylinder. Press fit pins can sometimes move as well but in my observations, not that often. Therefore all of the Hipo 289 rods that I stock are press fit. I have ones that I purchased in error that were floated but I won't use them. Every once in a while someone will need one or more of these floated rods. The big ends of these rods have been maxed out on the balance weights. . I am sure my comments here may be controversial, but these are all lessons that have all been bought and paid for with experience. Your milage may vary.
