[Tigers] 260/289 Connecting rods

[Steve Laifman]

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.
