Stock rods traditonally used the I-beam design such as those in FE and small-block Ford engines. The flange, or the short section at the top and bottom of the "I" is parallel to the crank journal and the web is positioned across the journal. H-beam rods are like a wide-flange beam, or an "I" with the tops and bottoms much longer and turned 90 degrees so the web section is perpendicular to the crank throw and the web parallel to it. This design is typical of Carillo rods and those installed in the Ford SOHC and DOHC modular engines.
