Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 292 using massey ferguson rods

Has anyone heard of this i was told that this was one of jim headricks tricks in the motor cotton perry won the gator nationals with. the 292 engine was used by allis chalmers in a combine and can be used in my tractor as a pulling engine . So I am thinking about a build up for one. If some one knows which rod I would appreciate it . I looked at clevites rod bearing sizes for some of the small masseys it seams it could have been as small as a 1.5 rod journal to a 1.970 .

Mitch, Jim always used Superod brand aluminum rods in Cotton's engines. They were 7.250" long, and used the standard 2.100" rod journals.

ok thanks I thought I might have posted under the wrong forum so I posted it under youre 292 dyno also hope thats allright . hmm ih had a 2.00 rod journal thats 7.250 offset rod cap and a 1.750 rod journal straight cap . might add some stroke for tractorpulling. thanks again
