That's more or less the plan. I was going to spring for a set of rods just to be safe. I guess I can always just get a set of Speed-pro 2262-40s, a set of Scat rods, and have the whole mess balanced and ready to go.
There is absolutely no hurry with this engine. It will likely end up in the 67 GTO so that I can move it around without pushing. The numbers matching engine is locked up. But that whole basket case is taking a back seat to other projects for now.
