Will Ti LS7 rods bolt up to a stock 3.622-in crankshaft? I'm looking into getting a set of LS7 Ti connecting rods and I've read somewhere that something is different about them and they will not bolt-up directly to a stock 3.622 crank. Does anyone know if this is indeed the case?
I plan to get a custom set of pistons to compensate for the shorter 6.067-in rod length compared to the standard 6.098-in length.

I think the housing bore of the connecting rod is different, bigger or smaller, not sure which. If that's it, then I would think all you need is the correct bearing.
Why not just use an LS7 crankshaft? Why the 3.622" stroke? Seems like that would be the cheaper route, and would net you more displacement.

LS7 and LS9 rods do use their own bearing
the part number for an individual connecting rod bearing is 89017811
LS7 crankshaft is 2.100 rod journal. So that would work.
