Theyre bolt in, however SBC rods dont have an offset wrist pin like LSx rods do. This dosnt matter in most applications, and im strongly considering using SBC rods when I finally do a buildup.

Exactly what GuitsBoy said. With the standard sbc rods there is more loading going on. However I have them in my motor with over 6k miles of racing and no issues.
