It’s a different part #

LOL, yes. It is. Probably has some different parts.
But there is an entire list of AI generated slop with no way to check and the few hyperlinked footnotes not backing up what is claimed.
I a not on the "everything is the same but the tune" train. But I would like some substantiation for the claims being made.
A different part number does not tell us really much of anything.

Ok, I'm by no means the mechanic or have the "inside knowledge" that other people her have, so this is just my 2 cents.
A number of years ago I helped an uncle of mine rebuild a '69 Mach 1 and a number of the parts we used were identical to parts off of a similar year F150, but just different parts number and 5x the cost. So just because they have different parts numbers doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't the exact same part. So unless someone can provide more than "well they have different parts numbers" I'm still not sold that they aren't the same part with the same metal treatment.
But I've been wrong before, but only once.

I agree. Cutting and pasting from other forums or using AI is how a lot of misinformation regarding the DH got started to begin with.
I would also suggest including sources when citing info. Otherwise this is just an exercise in hearsay.
And for the record, I'm not on the "everything is the same train" either. But different part numbers don't tell the whole story. And I for one would like to know, without speculation.
As for the connecting rods, those seem to be the one this that is universally known to be different. I dont believe it has ever been disputed they are the GT500 rods.
