You're basically betting that it's a decent product Since it's been run, a dyno sheet would be good as would an oil analysis...warranty? You did see that it may be .060 over? This will NOT last in a performance engine. Also they note "full race clearancing" - to me, this means really loose clearances...which is not great. I thought this was interesting too : gm pink forged steel rods 199.00

...since they were discontinued in 1978 :/

IMHO, the numbers don't add up, but you have to decide for yourself.
