Oh where oh where can I find rods!?

Hello fellow Oldsmobilists,

I've been on a hunt for just regular cast rods for my '65 425 engine. The only rods I've been finding are either steel billet or aluminum rods and I dont need anything crazy like that. This isn't a drag motor and wont see high RPM either. Just need a nice set of rods. If anybody has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

You don't want "cast" rods for anything anyway.
The stock forged stuff is fine for a mild street build. Reuse yours or find a used set somewhere and have them reconditioned.

Call Howard's garage in Big Rock, Illinois. Should be a few sets in stock there.

I also have some 400-425 stock forged rods (7" center to center).
