I checked the rod part number, it's 1737692 which is for a 383. Two questions: Can I use these pistons on 440 rods? Are these rods forged or cast? Thanks and Happy Turkey Day!

But you'll need a 426 wedge block for them to fit the bore... & then because of the C/H your 12-1 pistons will net you around 8-1 C/R...

I normally know what I'm buying so I didn't think about the fact assumptions were being made..
