Interesting about Federal Mogul didnt know that. I have 16 rubber rods I spent rainy Saturdays taking out of early 60s Pontiac engines in the late 60s. I had a 65 421 I rebuilt about 1970. Resized the rods, cast pistons,valve job. Ran that engine approximately 6 yrs. Took it to 5800 many times. When I pulled it apart to use the block. I noticed for the first time, the engine had 7 of the wide flange rods and 1 cast rod.The engine when I bought it out of a wrecked 2+2 seemed original, it had about 60 k when I bought
it. I still have those rods and pistons in a box
