I spent most of today looking at piston sites and found quite a few that could work with a 7 1/2 to 8 inch rod. Especially rods with a slightly smaller big end to work with some creative crank grinding. I still think there is a rod somewhere that would work but haven't found a source of specs yet. I just takes time. I wonder if a trip to the car museum in Reno is in order? It's not far away. There is supposed to be a resource library there.
