Let me give you the p/ns that I have for the FP31 only (supposedly) Maybe
you can put this to rest.
P/N 1732-853 for 57 FURY AND 56 FURY 303 only Con Rods ( ie: no
58 318)
P/N 1732-611 For 57 FURY only CRANK
P/N 1818-597 For 57 FURY only Piston std
All of the other P/Ns seem to be common

According to my MOPAR parts book, the pistons and rods are the same part
#
'57-'58, only the crank # changed.

trouble due to their own characterists.
