Default NEED HELP!! what rods are these??
i bought a car and pulled the motor out and now im trying to figure out what is in this thing. it i sa 414" iron block. unknown 4" crank, rods in pics and forged pistons with no part number on them either. the rod bolts are carrillo so i assumed they were carrillo rods but they dont look like the ones i find on carrillos site. any help would be greatly appreciated

That's hard to tell. If there are no markings on them chances are they are either cheap ebay rods or really expensive custom rods.

Yeah, gonna be hard to tell without a marking, they look kinda like the lunati pro billet rods, but there are knock offs on those too.

Well, they are not ours, if that helps! Looks like the mating faces have been worked a bit, for clearance. Ours are already stroker ground.

actually that helps alot because i was told that they were callies but didnt want to post that up because i didnt think it was accurate anyway. thank you. actually i have another question for you. i have a 4" callies crank in my other motor. it has callies cast right into it then the right next to it looks like the numbers 389. i was just wondering which crank this was. again, any help would be greatly appreciated. here is a pic of it.

I ran into this on my callies crank also,,the number beside the callies name was just a forging no. not the part no. there was a number on the front side of the first crank throw that I used with callies to ID my crank had to pull the front cover off to see it though. it was engraved on the face of the throw.

Cool, we do engrave out cranks on the first counterweight. the first five digits are the serial number, and the second is the stroke. ^^^ I was going to say, that's either a DragonSlayer or Magnum!

The 389 is a forging number, nothing to do with the Models we produce
