Okay I'm rebuilding an 91 350 2 pistons had holes in them. Well my buddy has a low mile 95 LT-1, I want to use his rods(powdered metal). They will have all the neccessary machining done.
My question is
1. These rods will fit??
2. Has anybody else used them?
3. The quality and relability of these rods( I know of the claimed 400-500hp capacity)??
These rods will be free, just have to pay for machine work.
Your opinions......
Thanks

 

should work just fine. i'd measure them ,or have them measured and either dye penned or magged for cracks.

What's he doing with the rest of the LT1? Maybe the entire engine would be a better swap.

Thanks for the reply I think I will use the LT-1 rods. yet the SCAT rods are really nice for the price. I have to hold my wallet til the block gets pressure tested at the machine shop.

Vader I would use an LT-1 , I have access to about 20 long blocks. But it's to much hassle. How about an LT-1 Fiero, hell you have enough for an engine implant from everyone of the Big Three. heheheh
Note: I saw the webpage for the dude with an 383 Fiero,ouch.
