Those are not HiPo rods and someone went through the trouble of doing a poor polish job on the rear crank journal and adding a fake Brinnell hardness mark among other things. Original cranks were hardness tested by inspecting the grain structure of the iron with a special optical tool. This explains the idea of what they were looking at in the polished area https://old.foundrygate.com/upload/artigos/Nodule%20Count%20-%20Why%20and%20How!.pdf

The generic motors fuel rails on those Holley cabs is a dead giveaway that the carbs are not right either.
