DOAE is a Ford part number.

Hmmm, 5.85" is not a stock 351C or 351W connecting rod center-to-center
length.  THere are some GM rods with 5.85" (Olds diesel 350) and I've
seen aftermarket SBC rods with that dimension but they wouldn't have a
Ford DOAE part number.  The 351C is 5.778" and 351W is 5.9545-5.9575".
