BBO Con Rods Material?
Was reading in the Wiki info the W-43 rods were specd as SAE-1140 forged steel. Does anyone know what steel production rods were made of, of any year? Think I can find a rods and crank steel spec for early V-8 but not late.
As a side note, I can testify 1970 455 rods polish beautifully. I polished (at great effort) side beams on a set for my own engine and they had a mirror shine and appearance like vanadium steel. CW
