I think i'v decided that if I have a bad rod bearing that i'm going to just rebuild the bottom end of my 350 as there is nothing wrong with the topend. I should be able to rebuild the bottom end for about 200 bucks including machining of the crank if needed. I'm hoping its the cam hehe, I could then just pickup a Summit cam and lifter kit for 79 bucks.
PS: I have a bad habit about changing my mind all the time, so sorry if anybody is angry for me asking about something I changed my mind about
