They didn't use "old" parts.  They used new, off the shelf, in stock parts.

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.
