I just ordered some Scat 4340 I beams 6.125, to me it looks like a bolt on deal.

Theyre bolt in, however SBC rods dont have an offset wrist pin like LSx rods do. This dosnt matter in most applications, and im strongly considering using SBC rods when I finally do a buildup.

Exactly what GuitsBoy said. With the standard sbc rods there is more loading going on. However I have them in my motor with over 6k miles of racing and no issues.
