Connecting Rods
The conecting rods, nuts, bolts, bushing, bearings and caps
are the same.
Valve System
Intake and exhaust valve stem oil shields, springs, retainers,
and lock are the same.
Additionally
The flywheel and starter ring is the same, as well as the
drive plate to torque converter plate to crank screws.
The water pump and distributors swap, and I think the oil
pump does as well. Speaking of Distributors the Mopar
Performance Electronic ignition conversion kit works on
the Poly engines and is a wise move.
