440 Rods

[Terry Hauck]

I have two markings on 440 rods that came out of an untouched RV engine. 4 have 1851535 and MS3049 and DF51 and B. The other 4 have 1851535 and MS3049 and DF51 and LY. What, if any is the difference??View attachment 35602

I asked Tony Mopar from Tony's Parts and he said no difference. Got my block at the machine shop now. Should have the 440 in by the summer.

So are the rod's harder or what is the difference. Was it from a different compony?

He didn't say why. He just said they are the same and safe to use. They came out of the 440 RV engine. I don't know, 4 LYs and 4 Bs maybe left and right I don't know.

Everyone say that 440 source is a good place to ask questions and buy parts. That is from reading thought the forums. Good luck on the build and wish you the best.

Yes it is. They will talk to you and answer any questions even if you aren't buying anything. Good parts source too.
