I have not found any yet? Probally not going to find a stock off of the shelve rod, custom only, me thinks Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

BME will make them I am sure, might be able to scrounge a set still on a shelf. I know you asked for steel, but I don't remember anyone making them? 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

I have thought about it.. work on the crank alone would probably be expensive... grinding and retreating...then rebalancing, then your still buying new rods. the loss in mass from journal size is negligible in this engine... Worth zero power, but I guess makes it fit better?? Its a perfect High dollar crank too boot, thats already balanced.. These rods are Bill Miller and are actually 6.525, with the smaller .990 pin...
