You should be able to use the l33 pistons on your stock rods as long as the wrist pin dia. is the same. You would just have to have them pressed in. Same process as using aftermarket pistons on stock rods. The rods determine if they float or not BUT some stock pistons usually don't have provisions for wrist pin locks that would allow them to be used with rods that allow the wrist pin to float. I have experience with other engine's I would assume the ls series would be the same.
