Default LT1 rods in SBC
I cant think of a reason why they wouldnt fit, but just to be sure..... will say 1995 LT1 rods fit in a 1975 block, stock crank etc......

LT1 rods are supposed to be stronger than older SBC rods, but not by much. I think they're rated to 450-550 HP, while the stock rods are 350-400 HP.
