      BBC rods. Who do you recommend?

      I'm building a long rod 455 Olds engine and will need a set of aftermarket BBC rods in the 7.00-7.100" range.
      I don't deal with Chevy's much so I don't know who or where to look for a decent set of rods. I don't need anything thats going to break the bank ($1000 and up). Just something that will hold up in the 550HP-600HP range. The stock 7" long 425 rods I was going to use are only good to about 500HP after polishing, etc. I may only end up making 500HP but I'd like to have a little bit of a safety margin.



      Thanks for the help!

      72 Nova SS, on the back burner for now.


      current cruiser: "The green machine"

      '70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct in the middle of an ls1 swap, but thinking about changing directions to a duramax diesel swap.
