Phonecall to friend reveals the following:
Flywheels aren't S&S. Markings on the side is "exl 4 5/8 1400"
center reads truett osborne wichita kansas.
Pistons are s&s 92-3702f forged piston assembly for use with 4 5/8 stroke in 1972 -1985 sportsters.
Jugs have a /, triangle and an F marking, I assume that the company's initials are AF

OK, here is some "very old information" back in the days of bored/stroked Sportsters (about "70" ish), Stock HD rods were considered to be strong enough for even Fuel drag Bikes (40% mix). We did polish the sides of the rods to reduce stress risers and liquid penetrant inspect them for cracks.Saw some failures but not because of rods! By the way, about this time you could get a set of 5 inch stroke flywheels from S&S. Also, it is very complicated job to get rod clearance in the cases (NOT), you use a hacksaw! By about "72-73" the fuel guys were taking "883" inch motors to 110 Cu. In. by weld building up the top of the cases and boring them for even bigger cylinders!

Here's a link to the Andrews WebSite page for their IronHead Sportster cams, if you want to compare for yourself ...

EvilWayz,
Which Sifton grind are they? New or vintage?
Edit: The grind and specs should be stamped on the cam gear surface. They sound like Titans (Minus Minus). Intake lift is different however.
