yes, you can put 6 inch rods in a 350. you need to make sure that you buy 350 pistons for a 6" rod. this will give you more torque over a 350 that is exactly the same with stock rods, but it also increases your rotating mass, so your rpm max will drop a little bit. other than the different pistons, you can slap those 6" rods right in.
