That's one thing, Tommy that you need to look out for. Machineman mentioned oil ring support. That is probably an issue worth concerning. If you get a really long stroke and a really long rod, you have to have piston with a very low compression height. I got away from it with my kit (I think they were 1.26"), but anything any shorter would put the wrist pin going right through the oil control rings. Not good.
