Yeah well. These "fifties and earlier" engines are not as easy to find parts for as they were when I built my 270. 270 pistons in any form are getting harder to find. I have a set of these or I would not have posted this link.
All 228-302 GMC rods are basically the same (7"). There is a small end bushing thing and a bottom end insert notch difference. All can be made to work and are strong rods, plenty for most of us. For those looking for old parts upgrades there are (8") Hudson rods used with MOPAR inserts that can be used with lighter custom pistons.
I just thought after previous post here looking for 270 pistons someone might be interested.
