Will these rods work with my forged crank 383?

Yes. What are they? Chinese H beams? Kinda hard to find.

Stock 383 Rods use a 2.375" large end and a length of 6.358"
The box lists the large end at 2.325" and a length of 6.385"
If possible I would measure the rods as the "2" could be a "7" on the big end and the length could have been hand-written inaccurately...

They are high end Fowler aluminum rods.

They’re BB Chevy rods, .250” long, set up for BB Mopar pins.

That's odd

I agree with Dwayne. If they were BBM they would say mopar. If it just says "big block", assume chevy.
You could use them (I wouldn't use used aluminum rods) maybe (maybe!) on a small stroker ground to use BBC rods, but why? The custom pistons necessary would be expensive, and the huge mopar pins would cancel out the weight savings of using aluminum rods. I bet a good steel rod with BBC pins would be lighter.
Those rods are probably from a used-and-abused heavy power-adder big block Chevy (the mopar pins).

eBay listing said big block mopar but idk

If I were building a killer high rpm 383, I would get a set of rods from Molnar, 100%.
Of course, as always, my opinion only.

I'm using stock forged rods but these were $200 OBO on eBay so I was just wondering.

Been there, done that! Bought a new set of ten Gorgeous custom Ross pistons for a big block mopar stroker, for a quarter of what they cost to make.
Still haven't figured out how to use em!
