No. Your piston will be .500 down in the cyl at TDC if I did the #'s right.
k but if a guy picks them up for 125 is it worth finding a set of 6.535 rods?

You would still be down in the cyl and I forgot in my first post crank throws to piston skirt clearance might still be an issue.
ok thanks for saving me some cash

No problem. If you have a reputible engine builder close by that you trust you can check with him also.
