Stick with the %.352s ... I've run them in my 2110, later 2276 for 12 years with no regrets or problems.
Love that short rod snap!
Just my 2 cents worth ...
Take care,
TxT

Stock weight car? Shortest rod you can get.

If I had my way, I would have gotten my Ti Rods shorter than 5.5 for my 83 stroke. I'm running a full weight car. I totally agree with John. SHORT.

I also have Porsche length rods (Carillos) on an 82mm crank (2110 cc motor). Works great..

Some say it doesn't matter some say shorter is more torque or bottom end longer is more top end. I'm running 5.4 with FK10 and 86 stroke. 163 ft lb at wheels I say short.

Either the 5.352 or 5.400. I ran the 5.500 and lost to much bottom end for the weight of the car and did not gain any top end for the amount lost of the bottom end. Dave Rhoads

Another vote for 5.352 rods. I'm using a set of Eagles on a 78 stroke.
