Default What size rods for 427?

I guess I've gotten all the parts I've bought that I'm ever gonna get. So now I need to spend double on stuff to finish the longest motor buildup in LS1 history. I need to buy some rods so I can at least get the freaking shortblock built. I am going to go with Eagle (same I've already bought but never recived). I believe I need 6.125, correct?

The length will also depend on the pistons you have. I have used as big as 4.130 or 4.100 also the pistons have to match.

Guess I should have looked at my piston spec card lol. I do need 6.125 rods. I assume the Eagle rods will match with my Diamond 4.125's?

They should do the trick.
