Default Lq4 build with 6.365 rods

Has anyone here run that long a rod? I bought them already to run and I was curious to see if anyone else has.

Thanks guys.

My setup so far
Lq4 block
Stock crankshaft
K1 6.365 rods
Wisco pro pistons

Why would you run that long of a rod on the stock crank? Are you trying to sustain more dwell at TDC?

You should still be able to have a pretty thick piston crown with those rods given the stock crank, but that's an interesting combo. I've seen 6.200" rods work well with 4" stroke combinations.

Did you have Wiseco cut the pistons for you with those rods spec'd?

Yes I had wisco make a piston for that rod.
I always like building my engines with as much rod as I can fit but I come from the 4 cyl world. This is my first v8
