Just as an example, if you took the short rod to the extreme, you could have the rod journal pushing sideways on the piston pin. Everything is a trade off but this one is something to consider. As small block Chevy rods are too narrow on the big end, where are these 6 inch rods FOR the inline 6 listed?
