Default Engine is here, rodbolt question

I got my engine back today and after I got home, I realized they didn't use the ARP 2000 "Cracked" Rod bolts I sent with the motor. They used the ARP rod bolts that came with the scat H-beams. How much power will these rod bolts handle? I'm assuming since the rods are rated to around 800 hp, that the rod bolts should hold to that. Right?
I'll be running the motor N/A until I get out of school in about two years, then I want to swap the heads for some 317 6.0 heads and run either a procharger or a turbo. Motor info and pics in sig. Thanks.

Yes, if the bolts they used came with the rods, theyll be part of that rating. Im sure youll be fine using those bolts. All the ARP hardware is still very strong, even if it's not the 2000s.

That's good to know, thanks guys.

Also, if it was square-decked "10 out of the hole", what's my deck height?
