A guy I know had a 347 ford with mopar 6.123 340 rods in it, and ran a lot of spray, and the only reason it popped is after 4 years of pounding it he decited to freshen the bottom end, and didnt check over the heads, he dropped a valve, killed a piston and corked a rod, that rod bent hit the crank and it was cut in half along with the stock ford block.
He still has that rod and piston on his shelf, looks like the rod was in a metal shear.

I don't beleive this is possible. I've built a couple 347's with 5.4" rod and the wrist pin intersects the oil rings. A 6.123 rod would put the piston somewhere in the middle of cylinder head!
My son's 427/351windsor based stroker uses a 6.125 SBC rod. I could see the Mopar rod maybe used in that combo. But the crank still has a 2.10 SBC jouranl size!!!!
