INFO wanted on C7AE-E rods
« on: June 24, 2023, 04:50:37 AM »
Opened up a 428 CJ and found these rods. C7AE-E, very clear casting, larger rod bolts and not the usual C7ae-B rods I am acustomed to. Cant find it in my MPC books. Any ideas / Thank you

I searched around a bit and found nothing. A "C6AE-E" Lemans rods used in the SCJ and C7AE-B. It wouldn't surprise me if Ford needed to make another run of the Lemans rods and just cast them as C7AE-E. Supposedly, there are a bunch of different rod casting numbers which have technically been reported in the CJs, and Ford is certainly known for tons of little changes or additional casting runs. Are the rods the standard CJ style or the heavier Lemans style?
