Default WTB: new or Used Pontiac 6.625 .980 pin bushed connecting rods

Anyone have a set of new or used Pontiac stock length and journal bushed .980 pin rods for sale? The old CAT, PPR or RPM I-beams would be just fine. Eagle or Scat H-Beam rods are overkill but I'll take what I can get.

Default Connecting rods

I have a set of cast Pontiac pressed bushing rods taken from my 455 after rebuild. machine shop did not do anything to these except remove pistons/ bushings. I assume they are 6.625 standard rods.

I really appreciate the offer but after having a stock rod fail me and destroy a 455 I had in the early 90's, I'm very lery of using stock rods in anything that might see some strip time.

Let me know if you are still looking. I have some nice, bushed rods. I'll have to ck if they are forged. If this is for your 463 T/A car, let me know the max rpm that you take it to.

I have a set of Eagle 4340 6.625" 3D rods that were originally pressed pin that were converted to bushed. I would recommend getting them rebushed before using.
