I am working on a 265 flathead to transplant into my '49 Power Wagon. I am running into concerns with the connecting rod bolts, though. Several of them are beat up, and one in particular has damage that is more than I am comfortable with.

So I'd like to ask you guys if you, or someone you know, might have a spare 265 rod bolt, or a few bolts, that you'd be willing to part with. I'd like to at least find one to replace the worst-looking of the bunch that I have.

The type I have is flat on top of the head, and the head has a little bump sticking off the side, where it fits into a recess in the rod, which keeps it from rotating when tightening or loosening the nut - essentially a key. Since I don't have an image hosting account, I can't post a photo directly into this message, but I've attempted to add a link to a post on the Power Wagon Advertiser site, where I've uploaded some photos.

Any help would be appreciated. These bolts are unique to the 265, and I've exhausted a lot of resources, and found that these bolts are just not to be had.

Thanks,

Matt
