    lots of times you need a longer rod for a stroker engine so the bottom of the piston will clear the crank counter weights

    yep and if your going to 4.250 crank even with the small blower you may want to go to the longer rod the pistons will not be any more i have built them both ways with short rods and longer rods . longer rods help with more counter weight that helps if your going internal balance
