That is the correct Ford Part number for the rod assembly.
Unfortunately I do not have a reference that breaks that assembly number
down to the number on the connecting rod. I don't believe any of the Tiger
engines have the earlier C2OE-A rods but I just don't have any facts to back
that statement.

My reference, per usual, is the TigersUnited.com Factory Parts list, with
the pages in question at:

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.

It is very possible that when Ford updated the 260 block to the 7"
mount pad and 3 freeze plugs, Jan 1963, that the C2OE-A con rod was changed
to the 289 C3AE-D con rod. The T15KL, the first Tiger engine group, Aug
15, 1963 is the 1964 Ford model year. 1964 is the year indicated for the
change to the C3AE-D rod. The T15KL engine group is the only group I think
might have the early rods but I have no direct knowledge about this engine
group or it's components.
Do you have any experience with any of the T15KL engine group? It would be
interesting to know that none of the Tiger engines had the early C2OE-A rod.
