[Tigers] HIPO 289 Rods

[Ron Fraser]

Mayf
	According to Bob Mannel's book; the std 289 rod, casting # C3AE-D
was used in the std and HiPo 289 engines.  The difference was the end cap
and the bolt.  The HiPo uses an end cap with more material and a 3/8" bolt.

	I have another reference that states this same rod was used in the
Boss 302 engine and in the 2.3L turbo engines.
I see no listing for a HP rating associated to the rods.

Couple of questions:
What's the going price for a set of 289 hipo rods these days, without 
the rod bolts (I have a set of 8 I may want to sell)?
How much HP can they handle (I may just put them into the hipo 260 I am 
building) ?
