Well that does not help at all., but I think these are possibly the rods that procomp was making ????? Seems like a lot of the resalers get it from one source. I'm sure if they where great we would all know about them by now. For the price I would probably buy a set and run em and cross my fingers lol. I remember a member on here buying a set of "olds" rods and sayin there where all over the place and pretty much unusable . Edit : some quick detective work leads me to belive these are procomps as I read a sema aricle online about speedmaster being a new company with parts made by pro comp.

The price would indicate that they are Chinesium. That's neither a bad nor a good thing, just a comment. Assuming they ever come back into stock.

Might be a good deal but who can tell unless they restock! I guess a guy could contact the company and ask when if ever they might become available.

Assumed they were the same ones Mondello and Rocket Parts were, didn't see where Speedmaster they said unavailable.

Being bushed to .975" means Olds pins at .980 won't fit these rods.

Correct. It's actually better that they're "unfinished". That gives you the chance to hone to size.

I guess the correct term is!! {sold out} Which means they don't have any per the add.
