OK GEAR HEADS a question for all. I know Hallett is in the process of rebuilding his 460 Ford, as well as a few others... Me too.. Anyways, been searching the net, eBay, etc for a source of BBF aftermarket RODS.. I have found out that Eagle and CAT rods are forged and machined in China!!! Has anyone here used them, and what are your thoughts? I've never been a proponent of Jap parts in my engines, but at over $1600 for a set of Carillo/Crower etc rods, I'm wondering if these rods are quality items. I've heard a few people on this board say that Eagle products were crap, as well as others say they've used them in blown BB engines approaching the 1000 HP mark.. What gives? Should I spend my money on a re-worked set of Ford Truck rods, or buy a set of these foreign jobs???
