If you have an A460 block with the long cylinders it will not matter.

Of the two choices you offer, what's available and the least expensive relative to the combination.

I'm going to fix my stock block motor for a back up. So new rods are a must but just wondering which would be better.

If it's a back up engine I'd probably try to buy some used ones and not worry about the length.

On a drag race only engine I do not think it's that critical of a deal......if a guy was gonna do a lot of street miles I'd prefer the 6.80"

I like:

1) crank I want
2) piston I want
3) connect them with what ever length it needs

Contact one of the websites supporters. I feel assured, someone can order your piston.
