The pin end is the same width on both the cast and steel crank rods.
Narrowing the big end of the connecting rods is not difficult, but it is machine shop work. Maintaining the specified rod side play on the big end is important. One would also need to re cut in the lock slots.
To keep the rod properly centered, the same amount would need to be cut from each side.
That's kinda what I figured. Thanks! I know some guys at machine shops around town, so I'll look into some 198 rods at some point before I go to throw my motor together and see how much they'll charge me to grind on em a bit
