Default Gen V truck connecting rod?

Someone told me that gen V 6.2 truck engine connecting rods would work in IV gen 6.0. he said they were better rod. Is this true?

thanks

It's true that a Gen V rod will fit in Gen IV, the balance might be off though since the rod is a little heavier. The 5.3 rods wont get you and advantage, only the 6.2 rods.

The 6.2 L86 is identical long block to the wet sump version LT1, except for the intake manifold and exhaust. Cam, rotating assembly, block, etc are the same.
