Yep! Why when I built my RAIV motor in '88 I had $1200 Crower billets as an insurance package. Thought the cast rods in the previous shortblock were a risk and nt impressed with the forged early rods after heat treating.They also took up some of the piston CH going to the offset ground 4.25 2.20 rods on the factory cranks.
