Reply to "Installing the connection rods to the crankshaft"

Are these stock 351C rods? The stamped numbers should be facing outwards for correct orientation. You will notice that one side of the rod end is flat and the other side has a chamfer. The flat side is designed to be placed against the other rod on that crank journal. The chamfered side is designed to be able to ride up along the crank journal. The stamped numbers on the stock rods are designed to make this happen.

The oil squirt holes will point towards the opposite cylinder bank.
