what size rods do i need??please help i am buying rods for my engine. which size do i get/need? are the eagle 6.125" rods better than the 6.1". i was thinking of getting the 6.1" but i see that everyone uses the 6.125", why? wouldnt the 6.1 have less rod angle and put less stress on the piston? any info would be appreciated.

ya, whats the bore x stroke your working with and have you chosen pistons yet?
on a 346 it usually goes
6.098 - 6.1 rods with pistons w/ a ~1.340 CH (stock)
6.125 rods with pistons w/ a ~1.315 CH
generally you want to keep things within the deck height.
