An FE forging can be drilled either way.

By Dave Shoe - 12/11/2001 2:29:10 AM; IP 216.243.158.32

My research shows the 3/8" rod and the 13/32" rod are the exact same thing - just drilled with a different sized bit.

You will find the popular C7AE-B forging (incorrectly famous as the 428CJ rod) drilled for either the 3/8" bolt or the 13/32 bolt. It's all the same.

Your C6AE-C is the same as a C7AE-B, except it was probably forged on tooling which was cut a year earlier.

Also, the FE rodcap is the same, whether from a 3/8" rod, a 13/32 rod, or even from a skinny rod from the early days of the FE. The same grade of steel is used and everything is the same.

Shoe.
