Harry, no one currently makes an "off the shelf" rod for the 292 that isn't custom, so to get a set for the 292 is going to be $$$$'s as you have already found out. They are just basically a one off rod, and nothing comes close to any current aftermarket rod being made that is close enough to length, housing bore or B/E width to crossover. The aftermarket 250 rods are basically a SBC forging or billet that is easily modified at the time of production to make them work for those engines, and are much cheaper to do so. For that fact, it will cost more money to build a 292 than a 250, even though the HP level will be the same for either engine.
