Hah! That was my first thought too. Maybe a 350 rod. So, in the old days, if you bored a 350 .080 over, and installed a 400 crank and rods, thats how you got a 383 "stroker" . The 400 had a longer stroke by using a big end crank position further away from center, but that meant it also needed longer connecting rods.

Nm, I see where it's hitting in the pic, I would call someone like jegs or summit and see if they can get you a measurement of a 400 rod.

Welding is a lot like sex, you don't have to be great with the rod as long as you thoroughly prep the surface and your good at grinding
