I noticed he hasn't been hangin' out much lately....guess he got mad and went home, don't know! As far as the billet rods go, thats always been an option that most dont want to take,because of the dollar factor.I found the H-beam rods I mentioned earlier on as a lesser expensive route at $469 a set. They are 7.100" long, and are also BBC dimensions on the B/E and S/E and width.The bad thing about the 292 engines is that it is the Lone Ranger when it comes to this sort of components, there is absolutely nothing that can be made to interchange with the rod because of its length and relatively small housing bore combination. You just have to throw down and go custom either in the piston or rod department or both, and that makes the cost of that type of engine really skyrocket. The 235 or GMC's at least can use the BBC rods as a starting point, and with little modification, can be made to work with relative ease....
