Default LSA rods

Does anyone know the rod length for the LSA and if the rods can be used in a Gen 3 block? I was thinking of using them for an iron 347 build. For $150 (used), they seem like an excellent budget minded choice for a motor that won't see much over 600 whp.

Rod load is all about piston weight, stroke and rpm. HP has relatively little to do with it.

They are nothing special, Just like the LS3 rods.

Not what I understood after reading some topics on the subject. In terms of strength the LSA rod is in between an LS3 and LS9 rod from what I have read.
