i have done a lot of long rod conversions on race engines. the usual reason is to get smaller pin to crown height pistons. with the gudgeon higher up in the piston , you get less piston flutter and hence better ring sealing. the arguments about longer dwell time at TDC are mostly theoretical. only a few engines benefit from this, typically those with shit-house combustion design to start with. most performance engines already have optimied rod ratios, eg stroke to rod length. longer rods are relatively simple--pay money. at the cheap end, steal them out of a honda (beautiful rods typically), at the dear end, pay Argo, Carillo etc. They start at $250 each. FYI, all 4AG rods are standard at 122mm .
