Default RE: pros and cons of rod length

long rod > short rod

and they went with a shorter rod with the 347's because the long rod setups had the wrist pin intersecting the oil ring and gave oil control issues

347's actually have the longest rod you can pretty much fit in them. The compression height on the pistons just simply can't be made shorter.
