I just came across a set of custom forgings for the Packard V8, but the pins are BBC .990". The Packard V8 rods use a .980" pin, same as Pontiac/Oldsmobile. The Packard rod pin bushings are already only .0275" thick walls. I could hone out the Packard bushings, but I thought it might be better to start with BBC bushings and fit them to the rod.
Second question - where would I go to buy BBC pin bushings?

-these guys are a good choice http://www.pppcenter.com/
-they have 5 choices for BBC size pins---at least 3 diameters that are the same length---and then several other lengths.
-click their link and then find their online catalog and click on pin bushings.
