Most of the stroker kit's use the 5.400" rod. I believe the 5.315 rod is used in the CHP street fighter 347 kit to keep the oil rings away from the wrist pin. I would think using a 5.315" rod in a 331 would be silly, cuz there is no need for for extra compression height, and a longer rod is better.
