Original Ford 289 HiPo connecting rods removed from an early Shelby GT350 engine. These are used original parts and are being sold as-is.
Please review all photos carefully to determine condition. One of the eight rods is bent and/or twisted, so this set should be considered a rebuild, parts, or core set. I have not had the remaining rods professionally inspected or measured.
Sold exactly as pictured with no guarantees beyond what is described. Please ask any questions before purchasing, and be sure to review all photos, as they are part of the description.

As an additional note beyond the sellers note is that these rods are no longer for the normal press fit pins. They have been floated without adding bushings. I have seen a lot of these rods with the same modification. The tell on this modification is the hole drilled into the small end of the rod to help keep the piston pin lubricated.
-Fred-
Normally when floating a rod a bushing should to be installed for longevity thats what my understanding is from talking to different machinist over the years.
Chuck,
You are correct about the bushings and the bushings are more obvious. However I have seen a lot of these "economy" floats without bushings done on Hipo rods. I try to avoid these as I use press fit on my Hipo 289 engines. I have bought some of these in error and I will never use them myself.
