This wasn't possible in 1970.  350 rods with small rod bolts were like hens 
teeth since they were only used one year and were 3 years old then.
Had I thought about it instead of taking the parts counter guy at the Chevy 
dealer at his word, maybe 327 rod bolts would have worked, but since the rod 
I had wasn't any good and there was already a rod with 3/8 bolts on that 
throw, what the hell.  Go with the flow.

Today...not in 1970.
