My 1970 U-code Cuda is stamped HP2 and is original #'s motor(partial vin on motor). Car has a harmonic balancer that resembles a cast crank. All 440-4 and 440-6 used the heavy six pack rods and in turn used a externally balanced crank....





Now wait a minute! I thought 70-71 only did the 440-4V HP use the same balancer as the 440+6. In 69, wasn't the 440+6 the only engine to use this configuaration? Did the Forged crank 440's in 72-74 use the same balancer?

I guess another wat to put it..."When did the 440-4 and 440+6 share the same rod/balancer part number?"

And finally...how can I identify a "Six-Pack" Rod?

Thanks




Answer: Always. The reason is that 69.5 6-Pack cars didn't use "6-Pack" rods, either! They used LY rods IIRC.

6 pack rods are 920 grams vs. 860 grams for the LY's. I believe the 6-Pack rods are part number 2950906.
