found they were at least .050. wider than the Mitusbishi rods in question.

Well that’s a bit of a disappointment, although if you grind the crank to suit either of the 4G63 rods, the C shaped sides would still be ample to guide the rod, it’s just rather irksome looking.

There is a Mitsubishi rod that is a similar width, within a few thou, from a 2.6 L engine, but the rod length is all wrong.

I know the one I think, the 4G54. It’s a very common engine here, as it was Mitsubishi Australia’s biggest seller for two decades. The head on it is a rather good hemi design. The bad part of the engine is the balance shaft, the block cracks around it, but if you chuck away the shaft & destroke it down to a 90mm stroke with a crank from it’s 2 litre brother, you get an extremely good motor.
