If you get stuck with a rod bolt issue, and want to stay press-fit, the Eagles are fairly inexpensive, think they are in the $375-$400 range.

After going thru the rods you have, you may be close to that anyway.

Obviously, if you go floating, pretty sure you would need new pistons, and then the project-creep sets in.

The 4.25 balanced stroker kits are the least expensive out there, and if you add all your cleanup/rebuild costs up, you may be close to one of those anyway. The Butler ones are around $2400, think others vendors may be less, but that's a pretty good deal.
