Stupid piston rod upgrade question In a c5 do you have to pull the entire motor if you are just upgrading to forged h beam rods and pistons but leaving the crank in and staying with stock cubes? Or can this some how be done with the block still in car? Also going to be doing h/c swap so i figured while im in there if i can throw some fresh h beam rods and forged pistons i will?

Its possible, but not the right way to do it. You have to pull the intake, heads, oil pan, etc. to do it. The motor should really be re-balanced with new pistons and rods anyways.
Just pull the motor and make it easier, much more room to work. Especally since you are doing H/C.
