Bolt torque is 40-45 ft-lbs for regular rods and 45-50 for Boss 351 rods. There are two different bolts used- the so-called 'football-head' bolts are regular 351C. The sorta-squarish bolt heads are the Boss units. They interchange in any rod. But the difference in torques isn't enough to stretch a bolt- someone at some time REALLY leaned on the wrenches! I would replace all the bolts with Boss bolts- Ford still sells them as does the aftermarket. Likely the rods are OK.
