Type I VW, 82 mm stroke crank and 90.5 mm pistons.
What is the shortest connecting rod that can be used without the crank or opposite rod hitting a cylinder or piston skirt? Common lengths, as per ScatVW are 5.394 in., 5.500 in. and chevy length, 5.700 in.
Not worried about the cam, just the cylinder bottom and piston skirt clearance.
