Which rods ?????

[ace007]

I’m gathering up all the parts for a T4 2270, I know that a 78.4 crank and 96 pistons will give me the right displacement. My problem is the rods because I don’t know the cc’s of the heads and need the compression to be around 7.5-8.0 to 1 with out making the engine any wider than stock. The rest of the engine goes like this

911 cooling (probably a FAT shroud)
Megasquirt EFI
2-liter heads with 44 X 38 valves
T03 turbo
Ford edis 4 ignition
DPR 78.4 crank w/Chevy journals and nitrated
H beam rods
Cam?????
Ceramic lifters (money willing)

you are going to need spacers, as for rods, jake recommended 5.4 inch ones, i got some 5.352" ones for cheap.
