I am interested in building a 2270 engine. From what I can see I will need a stroker crank with a 78 mm throw. I am concerned about which rod to choose. I have seen stroker cranks with VW type 1 journals as well as 2.0 liter and chevy. I have noticed variations in rod lengths as well. I am in need of some advise on a good, proven combination. I know there are many good engine builders on his forum that could share their knowledge on this subject so please do...............Thanks

It really comes down to fuel consumption; fuel = heat.
Efficiency is converting the heat to mechanical energy; better efficiency leaves less heat wasted.
Also, depends on the cooling system getting rid of the waste heat more effectively.
