[Tigers] Con rods

[Ron Fraser]

Owain
	The 289 hipo con rod is the same casting # C3AE-D; the end cap and
bolts are different.
The con rod end caps are beefier and the connecting bolts are larger at
3/8".

i thought 260 and 289 rods were the same with the exception of the 289 hipo?

pretty sure they are interchangeable but perhaps the 289 ones were better...

others will no doubt chime in with better info but i don't think it would be
top of my list.  are you planning on racing it too?
