I posted this pic a few years ago, but I think it's appropriate. This is what happened the last time I used cast rods. These were resized inside a balanced motor with good bolts. Through the traps at 110MPH I got a shudder in the drivetrain...FWIW, I would recommend a good set of AMERICAN made rods- Crower or Childs and Albert. I'd leave the chinese stuff on the table. You may pay a little more, but at least you're doing the right thing supporting your country instead of the chinese economy.

Although, re-reading your original post, if all you're doing is a stock rebuild on a 400, maybe just go with the cast rods resized with good bolts. As long as you're under 5K rpm and not making any real power(<400HP) you shoudn't have any problems. I do have a stock cast rod 455 tripower in my other 65 GTO that was dragstrip thrashed for several years while in my blue 65 making just 400HP and not taking it past 5K.
