From the Federal-Mogul shop specifications manual #115 1982 edition:

1940-51 270 F/M connecting rod bearing number 9845CP STD diameter 2.3110"-2.3120". Width 1.212"

1945-52 270 F/M connecting rod bearing number 1905CP STD diameter 2.3110-2.3120" Width 1.107"

It looks like there was some overlap in certain years, so it might be a good idea to measure the big end width of the connecting rods or your original bearing shells.
