Several companies I have been speaking to about the 235/261 and GMC rods have a BBC H-beam forging that is 7.100" center-to-center. At least one of them has entertained the idea of making the B/E wider to accomodate the width of the Stovebolt/GMC, and either leaving the housing bore BBC, or trying to go to the 2.312" bore. Since the 292 is closer to the finished dim. on the width as the BBC(.990 vs 1.030), they could easily make the housing bore 2.225" as well.Just make a thicker bushing for the S/E. I dont see how you could make the GMC rod work for the housing bore, you couldn't close it up that much. But as an alternative you could make some bearing spacers similar to the type used when racers install a 350 crank in a 400 block. Either option can be made to work for you without much difficulty....
