I beleive FM has long rods for both tall and CB 2.5L motors

[89acclaim]

They have 6.357" ~ 161.468mm and 6.18" ~ 156.972mm (very close to the 157mm rods on the tallblock), and I will leave it at that.....

I wonder if there is any way to Cryo forged pistons and still get a teflon coating on the skirts and a heat coating on the face

I'm not sure if the block broke because of the power, or if the crack was already there and I just finished'er off. This is the same block that I found a bulge in the front of it right above the crank and oil pump sprockets.

89 casting and later blocks have the area between the freeze plugs in the rear beefed up and also the rear bellhousing tab is beefed as well (where it always cracks at).

I have pushed one around on a cart, if that's what you're asking for
