If you plan on replacing it to have a full set to recondition, specify which rod it is. I believe LA 360's and Magnum 360's had different rods. But it should have a casting #.

If ya need some stock 360 rods, I have a set from a 79 with lower mileage. Went with floating wrist pins and going aftermarket rods. You can have these if you want. They're just taking up space
