FE rods ...what are these?!
Hi FE fraternity: I just bought a set of connecting rods for my 429 Cobra Jet, that I am building. When I open the package, something very different and unusual pops out. The casting number is D1AE- AA.
Have not yet found the number in my books, but the measurements are all FE. What rods could Henry have been issuing for the FE with an engineering number and part numbers into the 70´s
The rods look fairly sturdy, althought my C7AEs look thicker in the md-section. Do appear to use press fit piston pins, 3/8 bolts and the crank journal end is very sturdy indeed.
Any comments?
