Most all rod lenghts are 6.125, But I don't know if the rod journals are different between stroker cranks. and obviously the pistons are going to be different.

Depends on the combination. Needto know what the pistons require. Stock being 6.125 but a scat I beam is 6.100.

stock crank is 3.622
stock gm rod is 6.098
if use a 6.125 rod. it will require a change in piston comp height as well.
stroker, depends on stroke used, pistons compression height used.
