I bought 70 HP 440 that had some stock looking rods but didn't say LY on then instead they had DF6 S3049 BX.

Thanks

A '70 HP 440 would have the heavy rods (often called six-pack rods), the forging number is 2951908.

Which is it? Stock or not stock?
As Shorty said, pics will help.

Look on the other side for the forging numbers

Yeah, they're a stock rod but as Cab said, look on the other side of the rod!

Either way they have 3/8" rod bolts that are the weak part of the rod.
