That was until I had a conversation with the master....Ed Curtis on possibly building me a motor and was unsure whether I wanted a 331 or 347.I threw the rod ratio line at him and this was what he responded with.Rod ratio = eight rods per crankshaft... Rod ratio is nothing but BS and internet neophites trying to sound important. Same with rod angularity, piston compression heights and any other BS some idiot wants to say. Ask how many engines these internet people actually built. It'll bring out the truth. If you want to do a short block yourself CHP makes a nice 347 kit. Uses a 5.315 long rod, a 3.400 stroke and a nice forged piston. Not too expensive either.  8)</blockquote>
