Further to this discussion,I found this post on the NCRS site

When I was the Senior Process Engineer at the Chevrolet Pilot Line in Flint in '66-'69, a good friend was the supervisor of the Piston Department at Flint V-8 next door, and I spent time there on several occasions. They didn't stamp the rods and caps when they machined the rods and made up the piston/rod assemblies for the engine assembly lines at 2400 rod/piston/pin/ring/bearing assemblies per hour; they just placed the size-gaged cam-ground pistons in the correct position in the 8-piston conveyor trays to match the teleprocessed bore sizes for that engine from the bore air-gage station at the head of the line.
