What about B16A rods? it appears they are only .015" longer than D15b7 rods.... I'm going to play around with the compression calculator... I could be on to something.
rod length is only one measurement

You know, if rods could be found for cheap for a d15b7, it would make for a super cheap build. I mean most people THROW AWAY D15s. so most of the time I could probably source a block for next to nothing.

same length @ 134mm C-C, but wrong rod journal.

That is why I sent FJT some D15 rods
