what do you think of stock chevy 7/16 rods compared to say eagle rods?I have 19 of the 7/16 chevy rods,could sell em and buy better ones,sell my 454 steel crank and buy a 4.25 stroker,some 5.385 rods for my 4 bolt 454 block,I have everything to build to build a 454,stock heavy duty chevy parts,would aftermarket eagle 496 be better ?
