well.. first say you did not ask about the 6.000 rods in your build . some have posted on not using the 6.000 rod in your build . so now i will post on it .i build some big engines were we have a short CH under 1.125 and a stack up ring pack were we run a thinner top ring and run the pin thru the oil ring land and there less piston in the bore. i still think your better with along skirt if you can get it for evey day use and use the shorter rods. were i seen longer rods can help on side thrust one build comes to mind is a 496 bbc pull truck engine that runs up past 7500. were the pistons want to flip over in the bore s but a longer rods just may not help that much there is trade offs were the piston get short fast and the piston see s the load pushing the rod down as for side thurst there is pin off set on the piston this helps .if you build a 383 and run at w.o.t all the time you may see a longer rod helps it has alot of what your building most all builds your not going to get hurt to much by using a shorter rod .some of the 4.750 crank and 5.000+ cranks your never going to be were some say it great . the rods would be 10.000 long and the block would be better then a 13.000 deck i seen them run and talk to many as well as built many big crank engines . first 5.7 is not a short rod for the 3.750 crank gm used a shorter rods in the 400 and knew of one short rod 400.that went way past 6500 many times . for a driver i would build it as a 5.7 rod and a speed pro hyper piston with a scat cap screw bolt I beam rods and scat cast steel crank tru deck the block and deck plate hone the block balance the mass call it good
