There's also a NASCAR-style H beam rod for a Nissan engine that can be adapted to take the stroke out to 4 5/16 ", also with stock 261 pistons. That one requires some whittling on the crankshaft counterweights and piston skirts to keep those parts from getting into contact with each other. With a .040 overbore that one comes out to 292 cubic inches. Jerry
