Default LS1 rods in the LQ4? can i go from pressed to floating?

I am lookin at a set of scat I beam that are being sold locally. They are for the LS1 and are "bushed" pin ends. Is there anyway I can use these with floating pins in the LQ4? I know theyre the correct length and theyre a wicked deal. any ideas?

Providing you have a floating pin/piston, yes you can use floating rods in a 6.0.

Just check the inner diameter of the rod small end bushing and make sure it matches You're piston pin as I've seen 2 different sizes of piston pins for the 4th gen engines .

most bushed pin rods are for a .927 SBC size wrist pin, LS1 pressed pins as well as floating pins are .944

get the P/N off the rods and check the small end diameter.
