Well we ptu hte new cam in and its still hitting

So I thoguh our rods have to be to long. But I want to use 6 inch. Without goig to a smaller cam. Were using a 383 Scat Crank from summit, 6 inch rods, with a small base circle cam and it still hits! I don kno wat to do now guys. I a out of options. I looked at hte desp. online about our crank. Syas to use with 5.7 rods but we used 6. Would that make a difference in it hitting the cam and if so....is there a way to still sue 6" rods with that cam? I'm telling ya man, if the cam would work....we would have this baby done and installed in the truck. Thx for hte help guys!
