Why are you set on stock 302 Cleveland rods? For the money it'd cost to resize them and put new bolts in and shipping from Australia you would be better of with some eagle H beam rods or similar.

I've already bought the bolts and it's really just a standard 2V motor that I "thought" I got a great deal on a set of forged pistons. Eagle doesn't make the 6" rod in the 351C journal size of 2.311", just the chevy journal size of 2.1". We just discovered this issue after my machinist had the small end of my rods honed to fit the pins then we discovered the pistons are down in the hole 0.3". Didn't catch the specs on the "good deal" for the pistons until too late. My other thought would be early 351W rods at 5.95", but still a hair short.
Other ideas?? or time for another set of stock rods and standard style pistons?
