rods
Several companies like Oliver, Manley, Eagle, etc make a 5.85 rod. Lingenfelter liked to use this rod in some of his stroker motors Chevy also made a 5.94 powdered metal rod in the small L-99 V-8. 
I am also looking at this question of length. I just bought the GM stroker 3.8 crankshaft and consirdering using the GM special 5.7 rods that they put with this crank in the ZZ383. Anyone have experience with these parts??
Thanks Ike
