gauging interest in 327 forged rods for 60* v6

alright guys i can get my hands on about 15 sets(enough to make 20 sets for the v6's) of forged small journal 327 rods and have them machined to specs for use in the 2.8's/3.1's/3.4s

but im only gonna get 2 sets for myself if there is no interest,

if i can get these out for 175-200$'s a set who would deff be in for a set.

Why are they needed if the stock rods are forged? Are they lighter or something?

stock rods have a square cut to clearnace them for the rod bolts.this creates a weak point in the rod,the 327 rods are forged but they are made from better forgings and dont have the square cut for the rod bolts.
for most ppl the stock rods are plenty.
ill take some pics monday to show u just what im talking about
