I've thought about this process for years. To bore these rod out, I would first sit down at a drafting table and design a fixture. If you look at the original rods you'll see that Ford used 3 points to hold and machine the rods. 2 are on each side of the big end just above the parting line, and are offset, 1 looks like it is .187" above the parting line and the other looks like .250" above the parting line, the 3rd one is above the rist pin bore.
