I can give you the basic measurements for the duratec rods but not for the zetec.
Overall length (tip-tip)= 19.4 cm
That measurement may not help much so I'll give you center of the pin bore to center of the rod bore:
center-center length = 14 cm (approximately)
Pin bore = 21 mm
Rod bore = 53 mm (without bearing inserted)
Rod bore w/bearing = 50 mm
All measurements done with a ruler and are only accureate to within 1 mm so don't hold me to these exactly!!!!

**Edit**
I forgot, the rod is an 'I-beam' style and at its thinnest point parallel to the long section of the 'I' it is ~18 mm.
Parallel to the two short cross sections of the 'I' it is 15 mm thick.
Thanks again Tom.
It seems that there are only a hand full of people on here who are both willing to share and knowledgeable on subject. All I am trying to do is see if there is another car, or motor that is more mass produced that has parts that we/I could use in place of things that could/might lower the price of some items. I was hoping that some of the v8 taurus motors might pan out to make us some more parts. But apparently SHO parts aren't that mass produced either. Ugh... thus the search continues.
