300 6 rods
Hey guys so I've pretty much found the limits of the stock rods in my engine
Does anyone here know to find some forged I-beams or h-beams crower used to have a stocking # on them but not any more
Some info on some sturdier rods would be helpful
Just stock length is fine
Thanks guys

The Ford oem rods ARE forged. If you go with the early rods, is it 64-68?, they don't have the oil hole that creates a weak spot. Because they are stronger, they are highly sought after. But...the small end is smaller .912, which is perfect for the 351 pistons!!!
If you want to get serious about the rods, have the forging seam removed and have them shot-peened.
