Connecting BOLT distance?

Post by Dan Hatch » Mon Aug 25, 2025 3:16 pm

Does anyone have the center to center distance of the connecting rod bolts?
Better yet, drawing of the connecting rod.
I went to Henry Ford but all I found were Model A drawings.
Thanks Dan

Info from Dean Yoder post a while back:


Center of wrist pin to center of crank pin is 6.998---7.002
Center to center of rod bolts is 1.811---1.813
Center of crank pin to center of rod bolt .906
This from ford Drawings
