If you take a set of LeMans rods and do everything to them them needs to be done to make them live (polish, shot-pened,magnaflux, resize, rebush, new rod bolts, cryoed?,etc) you are going to spend at least $100/rod. You can buy a brand new set of Eagle rods for $690 and they are surperior to 35 year old Ford rods. It also depends on what you will be doing with the combo. If it's all race then I'd go with the aftermarket rod. Also remember to have the 428 shaft magnafluxed. A lot of them are showing up with cracks in race engines these days.
