 If you are talk forced power it would be $$ up and I would not recommend a cut crank and stock rods. I had a 402 set up for 250-300 shot, and the crank was more then GC shortblock.. Last edited by Polo-1; 02-14-2011 at 12:19 AM. |

Stock rods do not bother me on a fi build, depending on effective compression ratio. I would be more concerned with the block design, and crankcase ventilation on these motors than the rod, but that may just be me. "most" rod failures I have seen were tuning disasters, oil starvation, or contamination based. I am talking in general here, not specific to the lt5. I do not have enough experinece with the lt5, nor have I seen rod failure on one due to fi. Of course, I really haven't seen many that were fi

Re: 368 parts
For the uninitiated, what's the cost on doing these kind of mods? and what are the expected ballpark results? Just curious.

Not an upgrade...
LT-5 rods are not your typical regular passenger vehicle rods, fairly beefy. I wouldn't be in a hurry to change them out. Also, if you might be thinking about changing them out for a set of the China 'H'-beams that out there, do yourself a favor, that's not what I'd call an 'Upgrade'
