355 question
355 question im about to build my new motor and i was just wanting some opinions weather i should use 6 inch or 5.7 either way im buying new rods just wanting to know what people think is better
NO custom pistons needed and is very common on a 355 hell a lot of 6.125 rod 355s out there even.
Forget the benchracing crap about dwell, torque, sideload all that crap. Simple reason is longer rod makes for a lighter assembly which will be more reliable at higher rpms. A little lighter piston is a LOT less tension on the rodbolts at 6500rpms when the crank tries to pull it back down from TDC.

ok sweet i just bought a set of pistons for a 5.7 but my friend has pistons for the 6 inch and rood and said he would sell the rods and trade the pistons i was wondering if it helped so the 6 inch rods should make more power and hold up better than the 5.7 is what im hearing
