Hi Carl,
Dunno 'bout the current crop of stock Ford rods. The ones I got in my 514 crate motor were not too good - however this was four years ago or so.
One of the rods (carefully hand-selected by trained Ford technicians) had a piece of its web missing about half the size of a dime 
If we hadn't pulled the engine apart to check that very thing, it doubtless would have grenaded the engine.
Bottom line: check the rods carefully before installing them, stock or otherwise!
