I picked up these unused H-Beam rods with some AMC stuff assuming they were AMC, upon further inspection they aren’t. I figured they were SBC but measurements don’t make sense. Measuring best as I can- Rod journal is 2.32, wrist pin is .992 - length looks like 6.021. Only marking on the rod is a K. These are probably twenty years old. Anyone able to identify?
First, welcome to the HAMB from East Tennessee and I promise I'm not busting your chops when I tell you to read the rules, make an introduction and tell us a little about yourself. I'm sorry I can't answer your question, but you'll get a lot of good answers from very knowledgeable people who will be more inclined to help you if you follow the rules.
0.992" wrist pins are common to a big block Chevy. The rod journal hole is about BBC, after you put a bearing in it. The length is a little short, but there are a ton of variants. 6.135" is a common shorter rod.
This could get interesting, with all the different engine combo's out there. 383 Chevy stroker, offset crankshaft grinding etc. @squirrel is probably one of your best bets.... ....
Many of the good rod manufacturers will make any rod to your specifications. It could have been a development rod or dyno mule piece. I'm leaning towards BBC too.
