NAPA ended up being the right source after all, and I should have them wednesday. Thanks for the offer Dave, I was starting to get

at what a PITA it was turning out to be!
I got my rod bolts today @ $2.66 a piece. I'm messuring these up for ARP replacment when I start on my swap...if I don't get aftermarket rods, screw paying that much for stock bolts!
While at the stealership I was talking to the parts guy who was interested in buying a blown SVT they had on hand. After tales of wild 3L's, turbo's and super charger's and a little web site name dropping, he seemed primed to follow through

I also ran into that stock black SVT owner again and gave him the correct web site this time (I said CEG.ORG B4

). 2 more SVT owners in the SW-CEG?? Maybe......
