That's a thought Woodro. If you take it apart, to replace the rods, you'll have to balance it as well. But if you'll hone it with torque plates (have this done by a shop capable of doing RACE work) and get a ring package (made for Stock Eliminator) from some one like Total Seal, Childs and Albert, or Ackerly and Childs, and set the deck height, you'll get a good return on your money. Woodro can probably steer you right on a ring pack. His little LT1 whips up on my 427!
