Using sbc rods in LS1? Some of the stroker cranks that I'm looking at use 6.0/6.1/6.125" rods. But on ebay a lot of the "ls1 rods" have 2.100" crank pins, I thought that the LS1 Rods had 2.225" crank pins? Are these people just pawning off normal small block rods to ignorant LS1 enthusiasts?
I also see a mentioning of "on center" rods specific for the LS1.
Can anyone clue me in as to the difference between LS1 stroker rods and rods ment for old school SBC? And any advice on where to get a good deal on new rods for a 382? thanx.

They do have a 2.100 crank pin just as old school 350's use the same rod bearings as well. The rod bore measures around 2.225. The on center is refering to the an offset that they make between the small end of the rod and the large end.
