351 w RPM

[BlueOval Ralph]

It was not the same rod just shorter! 351-c has a different journal dia (smaller) that 351-W
Alot of guy's used Boss 351 which had a magged rod, it was also a forging and special bolts.

combos run before aftermarket rods were legal,I know they did'nt stay 6000 and below if you try to run
4BBL 351C without going over 6000 your're wasting your time.
By all means I'd run aftermarket rod since you can buy eagle SIR style etc. just few dollars more than prepping stock rod w/bolts,float pins,if you bushing them you'll spend more than aftermarket I-beam cost.
