I still have a 4" built with 3" mains and 2.25 rods "P Dude" got made before all the forged cranks came out.And some 6.8 Crower Sportsmans with a Pontiac journal I got from Paul Spotts years ago.

I bet any difference in a 6.625 rod vs 6.8 is going to be theoretical. It was used to have an available rod before we had Pontiac forged rods out there other than Carillo and Crower billets.
