If using GT3 crank and already custom pistons, gt3 rods?

Still acquiring parts as trying to essentially build up an engine from scratch with the new 3.6 blocks (when , who knows but #7 I think is my number) coming out as both my 3.6 are too low mileage to tear down and 964 based.

Quick question, if planning custom pistons anyhow for moderate compression turbo engine: Can we run the GT3 style rods if we compensate for length in the piston height? I don't see the reason to spend more for custom rods that are shorter with heavier pistons. Please educate me if my thought pattern doesn't make since in air cooled cars.

Thanks in advance.
