>> And forged rods?  forget about it unless ya go to Mr. Pink...

just clean up the OEM ones and shotpeen them and they'll be pink's, FWIW,
pinks start out as the same rod as the common OEM's before a casting
cleanup and shotpeen

Line I've been fed is the 300+ (not 300, only above) hp 327's got forged
cranks in the large journal setups.  Read this more than once now in the
chevy mags. Rest large journals were cast.  My serial # matches a 325hp
version but I didn't know enough when I did my quick re and re to check
that part out to verify.  This is only for 327's.

performance wise, what difference specifically can one expect from a forged
over a cast crank?(yeah I know the forged is stronger etc.. but any
quantitative gain?)
