I've always considered block and crank bottom end. Rods and pistons, rotating assembly.
So other then the billet rods, its a stock bottom end. Unlike these custom billet block 6 cylinders they call Cummins. Nothing cummins about them.
Yes, avoid the powdered rods those are known to break in stock engines.

I call anything below the heads bottom end. But a heavy duty girdle isn't stock, along with all the main studs and everything else. The block might be stock but its filled 100% so that makes it not stock either. There is very little in that engine that is truly 100% stock.
Forged rods break to, they just hold up a little more.

But then again, the OP, didn't mention what he had... or what he thought he was going to do. I respect other's points of view. Sometimes that's just a different perspective. As for "JUST"... 238's are going to require that you have enough HPOP to supply that.. steady upper pressure at between 2800-3000 psi. The a high volume low pressure feed. Then an open exhaust and a compression to drive it... and some tunes to tie it together.
Sorry = I'm an old school blueprinter. Things sort of work together and go hand in hand. Just drop one odd piece in (example- 238's) and sometimes it will end up feeling dog'y and blowing smoke... because things are not working together to make it work.
Diesels are easy- More air in, add more fuel, get rid of the exhaust. In between, get things working together (both mechanically and electronically), instead of one thing pulling other things down. Simple formula.
