connecting rod question

Thanks for the info Dr. Suess and the rest. (just kidding)....I didn't realize how many different aspects there are to the rods. My engine is currently sitting in the middle of my garage floor while I contemplate just getting the mopar 360 shortblock from jeg's or wherenot. Just not sure which way to go. As far as easiest it's the shortblock. I just have concerns about quality, anyone use the 360 shortblock from mopar with good results? I am leaving for california next week and may have to put all this on hold till I get back(3 months ojt). I guess that will give me time to figure it out. again, I want to thank all of you for the help. Mark
