I'd google "351W rods" or "Ford connecting rod numbers," etc...
The part number is definitely the key.

Did the search and found they are in fact 351 rods with "football rod bolts" anyone ever run a set?? Just trying to find out if they are worth running. Thinking a "cheap" 351 build up.

How much is Plenty. Did you use the stock football rod bolts? Just trying to figure out how much they can hold.

Mine was a .040 over windsor with 11:1 CR,had a roller cam and a set of high port heads.it was carbureted and with a 5 speed it made 385 on the motor.I also used arp rod bolts just ebcause i had it apart but the football bolts will hold till 500 or so if they are in good shape.but if you have it apart go ahead and put the arp's in

Try these instead. Better chance of not breaking. LOL:

Maybe so... but the 5-piece crank may be a little on the expensive side.
