Is it possible to put 327 small jornal rods in my 3.4 and also does itchange the displacment?

Yes, you can, although you have to narrow the big end in order to fit 2 on a journal. If you keep the same length rods (5.7"), then no, displacement stays the same.-Brad-

You're right. I was thinking stroke with the change in rod length. But the storke will be the same even with a different rod length.-Brad-

Change in rod length = change in compression ratio.Andy

Is there any advantages to using a Chevy 327 rod in a 3400??Comment

Its the only alternative to getting custom made rods. They can be had for cheap and a 4340 forged rod will be stronger than a stock one. As said before, they will need to be narrowed, and the wrist pin size is different as well.Originally posted by G-U-NOT View Post2006 AWD TBSS 12.538 @ 106.92 1.66 60' Bolt-ons onlyComment

advantage is ability to find much stronger rods and decent prices.Andy

If you go this route, have your SBC bearings narrowed also. I got SBC 6" H beam in my 3.4 and that's what we did to the bearing for proper fitment.Comment

factory bearings will work. theres a slight offset, but according to my machinist, its not the first time seeing it, and it will not be an issue. ill find out for sure though[SIGPIC]
