Next week I will be ordering the pistons and connecting rods (JE Piston 4.500"x4.00"_6.135" + 7cc Dome and Connecting Rods, Forged 4340 Steel, H-Beam, 6.135 in. Length) so the machine shop can get started.

Just curious not trying to throw a monkey wrench in your program but why a stock length rod?

Because the difference in angle between stock 6.135 and 6.385 is minimal with 9:7-1 compression.... Would have had to get custom pistons made
