Advantages, less side wall thrust. Disadvantages, have to clearance block and make sure that THE RODS CLEAR THE CAMSHAFT LOBES."aerodynamics are for people who cant build engines"

One advantage not mentioned above is that you might be able to run 87 octane or at least one grade lower than with the 5.7 rods because the longer rod slows the piston down near TDC and lessens detonation, depending on the CR you are using.
