Not Ranked
The rod length subject is not a strong area for me, BUT, . . . I always underdstood that a SHORT rod produced a greater rod angle relative to the crank and produced way more torque due to the leverage. It is called "Mechanical Advantage" This is why the 347 stroker can easily produce 400 ftlbs of torque for such a small engine but should not be reved to high due to the associated piston speed. Therefore, . . . shorter rod length = more rod angle = more torque !!!! ????
This is 180 degrees off from what he wants to do. Am I missing something
