Ford Big Block Connecting Rod ID#s C3AE-C
Can anyone give me some help in identifying what this connecting rod came out of? I know it is for a 390, but I don't know for what year or what version.
Any help is appreciated. (C3AE-C)

The C3AE-C rod like the later CJ rods can have 2 bolt sizes. 3/8" was the more common 390 small bolt rod. 406 and 427 were the larger 13/32" bolt hipo rods. Same rod forging just two different machining protocols. These were used from 63-65 but work just fine in any FE with a 3.78-3.98 stroke crank.
