Awesome build, can't wait to see it finished, but I feel your pain on the rods. It's bad enough buyer cheaper parts and them not being right but top dollar rods should be PERFECT every time, no question. And on top of that, you would think that if they did screw up they would move mountains to make it right and compensate you to boot.

I hope they see this thread cos it doesn't sound like they will be getting any more Mopar business - shame on them.

Only consolation I can say is that when you finally have the motor together right this will fade away somewhat and be replaced by the big SMILE on your face!!
