Re: 289 XE Rods Slight correction James. 289 Hi Po had broached bolt head face on rod with rectangular bolt head while Boss 302 was spot faced and football bolt head. Not sure where the Ebay item fits in the order of things myself, but noted the oil squirt hole drilled into the web of the beam as opposed to the outside position used on the stock rods. Ford used the XE marking freely on this stuff and without some inside knowledge is a bit hard to trace. We have a forum member who was posting some ' inside' pics a while back that may be able to help.
