I was changing out main and rod bearings in one of my SCs and I noticed that there were no numbers on the rods and caps (this is the second SC engine where I have seen this).....
In fact, there was a #3 stamped on one of the rods....
A buddy of mine was in the garage and I pointed this out to him....
This started a discussion on how Ford numbered the rods....
One of us said that they were sequentially numbered 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6.....
The other said that they were numbered the same as the cylinders 1 & 4, 2 & 5, 3 & 6....
Which one of us is right.....
