Re: Building another BBC on a budget
From the 383 builds I've done, the 6" rod versus 5.7" rod doesn't equate to any noticeable gain in HP, but is supposed to be easier on parts due to rod load and takes some stress from the piston skirts. Probably the same with the 6.385" in the 496. Either way, the cost is minimal and most all of the "kits" are sold with 6.385".
