Molnar rods are 7.006" length, so 0.307" longer than stock 225 rods. Lots more piston options with that rod length, and combined with decking the block.

I would like a bigger piston to use with stock (225) length rods. The larger bore should help when using oversized valves.

I have a set of 8 Ross forged +.100" pistons for stock rods with the pin lowered. 100". They would be down in the hole around .080" depending on your starting deck height. They also have some fancy ring package Mike specced. They aren't cheap, but could be for sale.
