LS1 stock: 6.098

I ran some 6.125 Dyer rods at one point, along with some stock bore JE pistons.

Default connecting rods

Does the ls1 have the same off set in the rod as a small block chevy? If not what is it? I am looking into a set of Dyers rods. P.S.J. I think you said you had a set of their rods in an old set up you had running.

You can use Small Blcok Chevy rods in a LS1 engine. The stock pistons pins in a LS1 are .945 rather than the .927, but we all switch to that size when we go to forged pistons anyways.
