327 serious problem

That's all good advice and I'm well aware of the limitations of the stock rods. However knowing how his car will be used, I see no harm to keeping the original rods, as long as no one has muffed them up.

Verne, agree, no harm to keeping the original rods as long as they check out good. New rod bolts a must and check for out of round and straightness and magged for cracks. But like you said if someone did screw them up the vibration could be caused by that and they should be balanced. I a big fan of balancing an engine.

Honestly from what I can see you have a low end rebuild there, do yourselves a favor and find a competent shop to rebuild your engine correctly, especially if its a nice car the engine goes in, you will be happy in the long run.
