Generation IV Internal Engine - Stock LS2 rod weight

Anybody know what a stock LS2 connecting rod weighs (in grams)? I've searched and searched with no success. Wondering if LS2 rods can be swapped in place of LS1 rods w/out significantly altering the bob weight, eliminating the need for balancing.

653.17 grams

The same rod is used in all of the LS engines except the LS7 and LS9 by the way.

So you physically weighed a LS2 rod at 653g? I've got some conflicting info here to make this confusing lol:
LS2 rods physically look like a different (beefier) "forging" than the LQ4 rods that came out of my '00 6.0 donor, which are supposedly the same as all 5.7 rods. I have read on here that LS2 rods are in fact different (stronger) than 5.7 rods, and I've read a few places that 5.7 rods weigh ~609g. Is any of that true/false?

The part number is the same if you went to buy a new rod from GM. I got the weight from the GM parts system. I did not personally weight the rods myself.

Weird. I'll have to post up pictures this weekend, they definitely look different.

Then why are gen 4 rods (ls2, ls3, l92, and l76 for example) bushed, whereas ls1 and other gen 3 rods are press fit pin?
I couldn't imagine them to be the same approximate weight.

I can double check on Monday and pull all of the part numbers. There is a breakpoint that they went from non-bushed to bushed. There is also a breakpoint when they went from nonfloating to floating pin also.

I would defiantly rebalance. I went out and weighed a LS1 rod and a LS2 rod. The LS2 was 35.6 grams (648.2) heavier than the LS1. 30 grams bobweight difference is typically what I see in the cranks when balancing them.

I looked into the numbers further, here are the results:

12607475 - LS2 (w/floating pin), LS3, LS4, LS6, LQ4/LQ9 (w/floating pin), 2004-05 LS1 (w/floating pin) - 1.41 lbs (639.565 grams)

12568734 - 1997-2003 LS1, 99-04 LQ4 with fixed pin (non-bushed) 1.36 lbs (616.886 grams)

Awesome, thank you!!!!!:)
