I will look them up in a bit when I get back in the house.
The 699 casting is the later, larger 318, 340 and 360 size rod. You can see the size difference.
One is a part number and one is a casting number.
Right. I gave the number so he would know which one. It's very obviously larger than the rest.
699 is the casting number for a 64-71 318 and 64-69 273. Same rod. No 340 or 360 rod here.
Then your information is not correct. brb. I'll show you.
Look at the red lines I put in the picture. Look at the big end. Look how much more room the top rod has compared to the second one. That rod has a LOT more meat there. Look at the red lines going up both rods. Look how much wider that top rod is compared to the others. It's very obviously a different rod.
Different angle dummy! Same rod, one is a casting number and one is a part number. You are just looking at a photo of different angles.
Dude, it's a different rod. Look where the rod joins the small end on both rods. Can you not see the top rod is wider there? Disagree all you want, but you're wrong. The top rod is a wider rod.
I'm not a dummy. It's a different rod.
Those rods are for 273's or early 318 rods. They are for full floating pins, they have a bronze bushing in the small end.
Late 318's [1971 and up] and 360's use the wider, stronger, heavier rods. They are for press fit pins.
All 340's use the heavier rods with bronze bushings.

No idea on rods lol, but those look like replacement commando pistons.
Probably TRW's (their number anyway. Egge uses the same number) I was never a fan of that centering hole on those but it must not have been an issue.

Two atmospheres are better than one
I believe that the old school TRW pistons used the centering hole. The pistons I've seen from Egge didn't have it, I could be wrong.

You are right TMM, my mistake.
Ah, no mistake. I couldn't remember the center either until I found my old photo.
