OK..
another nebie..
could the rod bolts be insatlled while the engine was still in...Like just drop the pan and do 1 bolt at a time?
Or does the k-member,etc need to be dropped?
also...how much of a big deal is it to replace them? Just don't take many trips past 6500rpm?

Yes, you would have to drop the K member at least an inch or two to get the pan out.
on 1998 - 2000 motors, I wouldnt spin past 6400 or 6500. On the 2001+ motors, im comfortable taking mine past 6800, and some people go higher. But anyone who beats on the motor enough may well eventually throw a rod out the side of the block.
