Stroker Connecting Rod Length

What length connecting rods go into a 383 stroker engine, 5.70” or 6.00”? I think it’s a 6.00” but I’m not sure and I need back up.

you can use either one you want they make both piston selections. but, for the street and simplicity sakes a 5.7 is best.

its all up to you.....i went the 6" route for my street ride and can't complain a bit. longer rods won't make a difference in power but will increase the chances of it holding together at high rpms.

it depends on what piston you have, are you setup for 5.7" or 6.0".

5.7" is the standard length, 6.0" works with pistons that have offset wrist-pins.
