CNC Dude, Sir;
I have been off the Internet for almost a full year. At my age that puts a serious dent in my understanding of whats going on.
My comments have been aimed at finding a better rod for 292's.
I agree with Beater that a lighter, cheaper piston must be supported which means 7.0" or more rod length is mandatory. The 283 SBC is a good match as its compression height gives a longish thrust face to bridge the long and "flexible" cylinder wall.
I've got the hardware, now it's time for me to put up or shut up; "judging a book by its cover" is fraught with risk and
error but I don't have too much invested this far.
hopefully, kalklein
