Don't think you'll find that this mod was from "Ford".  Makes an awful racket
at the lower RPM's, and was a rodder's mod.
As I said, these are only my opinions and the recollections of knowlegeable
people
around at the time this was done.  I've seen the web-pages on rod length, and
I
believe those that wrote them believe it as firmly as you do.  If it only
took belief
to make science, we would be in a lot of trouble.
