Glenn, H or I? I have the Forged Scat 6" H rods in my humble lil mouse.
I've got the "I" Rods. This 400 is a test motor for rod lenght and Hyper pistons. Just a cheap 475 hp+ motor ( according to the computer it is 536 hp ). The next motor is going to be the "trick" setup. Funny thing is; I've got this 454 short block sitting in my shop--thinking 496.

BTW all SBC and BBC stock rods are forged.
