 RW> You're full of crap, Jack.  I said 1967, 350 rods, had 5/16 rod bolts.
 RW> Even if they were 11/32, you missed the whole point. You ASSumed I
 RW> meant 327 rods, but I SAID 1967, 350 rods.  They were only made that
 RW> year. 1968 they became 3/8 bolts...
Sorry Roy, but I have never seen a small block rod with 5/16 Rod bolts.
Small jurnal rods I've seen all have 11/32 and large 3/8. If anyone has
an old manual you could look up the torgue. 5/16 should be about 25 ft. lbs.
max.  11/32 about 30 and 3/8 35-40.
 RW> This was never done. To my knowlege, there are no small journal 350's.
But there was large journel 327's.
