www.kennebell.net There is a Tech section in there that explains everything in pretty simple to understand language. Been looking at that lately myself.

Alright... God I feel stupid asking this... what's the bottom end?? And inversely... if there's a bottom end... is there a top end?

I'm guessing we're generally talking about the rods as people are always talking about going with forged... but it seems like that would be on the top... but maybe I'm just picture an engine upside down (man I should have taken autoshop in HS)...

Someone please do a quick Mustangs Engines for Dummies... thanks *blush*
