i would sell the 7/16 there good if the old ones the newer ones have a thinner beam the bolt never fail much on the stock big block rods and if ARP or SPS i never seen a need for the 7/16 have used them on some builds just at the time they were handy .i am not a big fan of eagle stuff but it would be better then the stock 7/16 rods and a new 4.250 crank would get you the 496 and you could use the 6.375 rods but you can build the tall deck with a 4.500 crank and use the 6.535 rods with a srp shelf piston to .i would say that you could use the 7/16 rods but they heavy and the bolts get in the way with a4.250 crank you have to grind more on the oil pan rails and the rod is short you can get a longer rod if you go H beam and the cap screw bolt rod has more room so less grinding on the block
