My 5.7" rods hit a standerd cam with that crank. What they means is that crank needs at least 5.7" rods to not have the rods hit the counterweights, using 6" is fine. What you need to do is either get clearenced rod bolts or else start grinding those down to clear then have the assembly re-balanced.

You can grind the rods where they hit on just on only the rods that hit, you don't need to grind all the rods. You need about .060 clearance between the cam lobe and rod bolt head. Grind the long way on the rod and try to polish out most of the grinding scratches. Proper engine assembly sometimes is a long drawn out process, assemble and check, fit, clearance, etc, etc.
