I am looking for a set of factory 6-pack rods for a 440 let me know if you have some.

Thanks very much.
 
I run the 535 Standard rods with as much as 500HP with
good bolts for years, I will look to see if I saved a set of 908s.
if so $125 shipped for a matched set. I have never seen a benefit to them if truth
be told. They are very common in most late 440 engines.

I would spend the money on a set of aftermarket forged H beam rods. Why take the chances on any 50 year old rods for your build. Lighter, stronger, will lighten your rotating assembly slightly, will rev quicker. However, assembly need to be re- balanced.
 
908 Rods are already heavier than the original 535 as
I recall. You will already need balancing and special dampmer/weight
on converter OR maybe $200+ Mallory metal.
On my 440/6 Stock eliminator race cars 50 years ago =
The first thing I would on rebuild was put in 535 rods and
internally balance the engine to save a little weight and trouble.
 
67 coronetman, do you want them for restoring a Sixpack engine, so you can use the factory six pack external balance stuff.... or because you think they are stronger for a performance build.
I would never use those uselessly heavy rods in a performance application, IMHO even LY rods are a better choice.
If you are restoring a 440 sixpack..... have at em!
