Chevy has Ford Rods !/ try LS-1 rods

[The Punisher]

LS-1's have long rods. I think theyre about 6.125 (I dont remember exactly 
but it is a little over 6 inches)and they DO make VERY good power (mostly 
due to good flowing heads and high ratio rockers on a roller cam).
For small block chevy guys wanting inexpensive lightweight LONG rods they 
can work well. At the shop where I worked we built some LS-1's that made 
over 450hp at the rear wheels on STOCK RODS (we used better rods on more 
radical motors). These might be a better choice than a Ford or Olds rod. The 
big end is the same as a small block and I THINK the small end has the right 
size pin(not positive).
