Default SBC rods usable in genIII?

I have a set of regular SBC 6.125" Eagle H-beams with L-19 bolts. Can I use them in my LQ4 stroker build or should I purchase new LS1-specific rods?

The SBC rods are kind of a PITA to get to work in an LSx engine. You'd probably be better off with LSx specific on center rods rather than grinding into the piston or rod to make a SBC rod work.
