Re: Cola rods?
Sorry guys, Cola has never been in the connecting rod MFG business. We talked about it but thats about how far it's gotten, maybe in the near futrure. About 1998 we were starting to get into the warehouse business and we were buying rods and re-packaging them in Cola boxs...anybody need rod boxes? still have thousands. Some of you out there are better informed as to what we sold better than I was. If anyone needs answers to any Cola questions please feel free to call at 562-4641690
Thanx,

I can't answer that with 100% assurance. They have had their rods forever, and while I doubt they forge them there in Jersey, I'd bet they have them made to their specs. They have always been innovative with their connecting rod lineup.

I was taking a good look at them tonight. They look a lot like Manley H-beams. Does Manley make their own or buy them?

Re: Cola rods?
Great, all I really wanted to know was if they were made in China or not, I was pretty sure that they were not. I was trying to stay away from the "Made in China" parts also. That's why I bought a Cola crank and Manley rods. Though, I had a guy here on this board try to tell me that Cola cranks were made in China.
Re: Cola rods?
You know, before I get blasted on, I will say that Eagle's parts are made in china, but they have done a bang up job getting them to produce a good product. I believe that Eagle still does some final machining here to ensure a quality product. Many people have embraced their line and others such as Scat because the prices are so reasonable and the motors live. But......the chineese still have a tough time reading a mic. and their material still looks kinda funny, you have to see it to know what I mean. But you know what, I can't think of anybody who has broken a SBC crank, other than the snout on a blower car.

EDIT: If I was building a NA engine, I would not have had a problem in using a Scat or Eagle crank in my buildup. Minus the China issue.
