It sounded fishy to me also Ray, but the rods I was asking them about was their Big Block Chevy forgings which are 1.00" wide and only .050" smaller on the OD per side of the housing bore for use in the 292 6 cylinder which is also 1.030" wide. As they said it simply could not be done. They said that after doing this for 40 years they have learned to refine the forging dies to the point where they can get them made with less metal waste and less cost, and that all their raw forging were only about .010"-.015" smaller than the finished inside housing bore and that the widths were only about .010" wider than when finished.
