Paul 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 ED ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul A.
