Default 6.0" Rods, any clearance issues?
Got a factory crank and using 6" rods. Any grinding needed? I know I need pistons for 6" rods.

You should be fine. What kind of rods are you using? H-beam or "I"

Will have problems with the rod bolts hitting stock windage tray. Nothing in terms of hitting the block though.

Why would it hit the windage tray? The rods are only taller on the top, not the bottom. If he got a bigger stroked crank I could see how that would be the case.

I'm running 6.0" Eagle H-beams and the dimensions of the rod are bigger in general. I had to remove my windage tray because the rod bolts were hitting it. It a fairly common problem. The stock rods are very small.
