You can use a 6.385 too and keep the pin away from the rings..
No you can't, That is only good for a standard deck height. Might work if you used the original tall deck pistons, but those aren't easy to find.. nor are they desirable.

You're a moron. The standard rod length is 6.135, a 6.385 rod is for a standard deck with 4.25 stroker crank. Tall deck is 10.2... standard is 9.8; when you subtract the two you get .4 that is the deck height difference. Add .4 to 6.135 you get 6.535... That is the correct rod length for a tall deck with a 4.25 stroker crank. I did the research and built one... so please by all means feel free to shut the f up and smack your face off that key board.

What color is that block? Grey? It looks awesome. Worlds better than say... the color of that water toy leaning against the wall behind the redish/orange
floaty thing.
