    Hello All
    Which connecting rods do I want to use in my 350? Early or late?
    Thanks

    73 and later

    I believe the 73 and up rods are the screw cap design.:)

    Roger that.

    Get new (ARP) bolts, polish the beams, magnaflux and resize the big ends. With the different rods, I'd get the whole assembly balanced as well. It's worth the $$!

    yeah polishing the beams will make for a stronger rod too, also with the arp bolts, also the oil will slide off the beam faster
