Curious, not questioning.... But: Why build the short rod version? I always thought the RB rod version had an optimum rod-ratio? And it seems that pistons for the short rod version would be taller, thus heavier??
Just wondering

Main reason at this point is budget. I have a brand new set of eagle h beams for 6.385 and i would like to use them if i could.

Makes sense, I guess. You probobly could sell them on the bag, and buy some RB length rods. I suppose either motor will work well, but I think you're giving away a bit in the area of bobweight with the short rod version. (???)

I thought the factory Mopar 383/400 rod length was 6.358, that sounds like a rod for a different application...BB Chevy.

Keith Black P/N #215 and P/N #251 pistons are for the 400/451 application with the 6.358 rods. And since Eagle only appears to make their 6.358 rods with 1.094" piston pins, the KB Pistons will make a good option for you so long as you're not running nitrous.
