Something to check when considering the use of SBC V8 rods. The main dimensions may be correct but the V8 rods have an "offset" that the inline sixes (and I'm guessing the Chevy II 4-bangers) do not. That was one of the issues I ran across when having K1 build a set of 6.2" billet rods for my 250ci L6 project and why I couldn't use widely available "small journal" SBC V8 rods. My understanding is that, using rods with the V8 offset will cause "less than optimal results". If you check with Scat or Crower (or ???) you'll find that's why they have a unique rod for the 194/230/250 Chevy six.
