  Yes, all 1940 Ford passenger cars had these rods. One end was attached through a bore in the lower - rear of the engine block. The other end was bolted to the frame.
There really is no way a guy could put these in incorrectly.
Attached herein is a photo depicting the forward attachment point.
Hope this helps.

  Thanks for the information and photos. While removing the engine I neglected to take pictures of the rods and could not remember how they went in.
