Not Ranked
How many 427 blocks with windows from broken "perfectly good" old Ford rods would you like me to show you? The factory rods were great in 1966, decent in '76, OK in '86, and we are now 25 YEARS after that.
There is no nondestructive test available that can tell you when fatigue will fail the part. Wrong place to save a dollar.
If you're going stock stroke the Probes are your best bet - compression with the dished ones still ends up in the middle 9s with a 76cc edelbrock. If you go stroker you can get a Mahle for around 9:1 with the 72cc heads.
