If by "6 rod", you are asking if changing the rod length changes the size of the engine, it doesn't.
The rod torque on a Chevy 350 V8 depends on which size rod bolt you have. On the 3/8 rod bolt the torque is 45 ft/lbs On the 11/32 rod bolt the torque is 35 ft/lbs
350 = 4.000" x 3.48" (Gen.I, 5.7" rod) 350 = 4.000" x 3.48" ('96-'01, Gen. I, Vortec, 5.7" rod)350 = 3.900" x 3.66" ('89-'95, "LT5", in "ZR1" Corvette 32-valve DOHC, 5.74" rod)
5.7"
Chevy did not make a 350 in 2001. The last 350 was built in 1999.

Depends on the rod bolts, but usually 45-50 ft./lbs.

.002" is what I have on a fresh rebuild.
5.7
Yes.
45 Ft. LBS. ROD CAPS
I do not know the tension, But the torque for the rod caps is 35 ft lbs.
