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?
I have a set of stock 351-W rods (5.95) you can have for the cost of shipping, but you get the pistons still on them.....I'm in Louisiana......
