Default Windsor and FE rod weights,
Windsor rods can weight from 520-530 for a 260 motor and they get heavier until you hit the trans-am motor with 750 grams. stock 351 is about 695 to 710. These number also depend on fasteners.
FE motor range from 352 with about 700 grams to over 1,000 grams for the nascar rods. I have a box set of lemans rods that weight is 840 with out arp bolts in them, stock from ford. With blueprinting you can get them down to under 800 grams and still be safe to 6,500 rpms. Rick L.
