Introduced in 1995, the Series II is quite a different engine. Although the stroke for the 3.8 L engine remained at 3.4 in (86 mm), and the bore remained at 3.8 in (97 mm), the engine architecture was vastly changed. The deck height is shorter than the Series I, reducing weight and total engine package size. This required that the piston connecting rods be shortened 1 in (25 mm)
This says that this the series 2 that has the shorter rods, so i think the OP from that site is backwards.

Large pics but I left them that way for detail. I couldn't find any part of it that measured close to either 105mm or 120.65mm
