My reference, per usual, is the TigersUnited.com Factory Parts list,
with the pages in question at:
http://www.tigersunited.com/resources/parts_rs260/Parts_List/2-AF-EngineMotor.pdf
which specifies the "C3AZ-6200-D" as the correct, supplied 260 motor
connecting rod assembly. This is a Ford Part Number for their
Industrial Engines Division. I understand that the division specifies
and procures the selected part through production line orders, and
doesn't make anything but paper, themselves. sort of the centralized
parts specifying and procuring section.
