The specs seem impressive enough but does anybody know anything about these chevy rods. Looks to me like they would be a fine candidate in a small block stroker....or not?

they seem a little overkill but, no reason they wouldn't work.

I have a 6.700 set and they looked and checked out great. Plus they were the lightest steel rod in that size I could find.Later
