Hey all,

I decided to build a 347 and read a lot on here about using a 5.315" long rod vs. a 5.4" rod. My question is where do you get these rods? I looked on Jegs, Sumitt, etc. and they all have the 5.4s, but no 5.315s'....
Also read that I need to go with a 3.4" stroke, and 1.175 CH pistons for reliability, does this sound right?

I think there is a sticky about strokers. If I find it I will come back to this thread and link to it.

The link is in my signature. CHP sells both the 5.315" and 5.400" rod.

Great choice on the 347
