stock 340 rods

My 62 Valiant runs 10.70's in strip trim. I'm converting it to street use, and adding a plate system. 4 bolt X block, 3.79 stroke, Ross pistons, Hughes solid cam, ported J heads, and stock rods. All my buddies keep yelling at me to get them out of there before I tear up my good block!! Perhaps I will before I switch to the W-5s.
