Default help identify ls1 rods

i recently purchased a group of parts. complete 243 heads, GTO oil pan w/ windage tray, ls1 block w/ crank, valley cover, cam and a box with 8 brand new GKN connecting rods.

the previous owner said the rods were for this ls1 and he purchased them a few months ago. i'm looking for help confirming or denying this before i decide whether i want to sell or keep them.

the rods are made by GKN, they have "3847" on 1 corner, "616" on another and on the opposing side they have "411"

they have "SPS 12.9" bolts.

i'm looking for confirmation of what these are for and what they cost. the whole lot of parts only cost me $400, so i'm not gonna lose any sleep if they are crap rods.

i can post pictures if that will help.

google brings up very little info on these rods. it brings up nowhere that sells them and nowhere that really talks about them except a few forum mentions which have no good info in them.

i searched before i made this thread.
