it doesn't work liek that. the cubes have nothing to do with the offset rod journals, there are many sizes of mopar flatheads with offset journals and many sizes of 25 inch blocks with no offset on the rods. you can tell by the length. all 23 inch engines have the offset rods. so the 23 inch ones i can remember are: 201, 218, 230. I bet therre are more.
In the 25 inch engines wth no offset there are 227, 236 (or237 dependes on what you read), 251, 265 and I bet there are some inbetween over the years. the offset is a bad thing for high rpms. Although I ahve never thrown a rod in one driving them in dodge 4x4s. an old friend used to drag race a built up 230 and it was fast but if he missed a shift he said it would rip a piston right in half! it was a 14 second 49business coupe.
