Google is your friend...You can find anything with Google but buried treasure...I still just don't know why people just don't google this stuff;
351 W rod length is 5.956, unless you happen to find some early 69 vintage rods, then in that case they are a whole whopping .002 shorter.
Ummm not trying to be a **** but I do find your last paragraph a little hypocritical. Mr Aussie straight six Turbo Man.If you were gonna put a chevy rod on a 351w crank, why in the hell wouldn't you put a 6" rod there instead then? For that matter, why (now that you can buy good rods for a 351w for cheap) would you even do it in the first place?
** edit.....Unless you're trying to do that in 2006, when an aftermarket 351w rod may not have even been available, and if it was, it was probably twice as expensive as the chevy rod was.
or...
**** edit, edit. You're trying to build some 374 c.i. 302 architecture block based build to fit your 65 mustang.
I tell ya,...why everybody doesn't just stick with the plethora of 5.0 junk that's available out there for their power plants and just be happy......
People always gotta re-invent the wheel when it comes to putting an engine in their cars just for the sake of being different.
