Well the s10 wont be on the road for a little while. I got to looking up rod bolts and thinking pros and cons.
If i dont do bolts
A bolt could break causing major damage to my block, heads, crank ect.
If i do put bolts in
I still stand a chance or spinning a bearing.
Ive decide to order a rebuild kit and replace rings, bearings, gaskets, oil put, katech rod bolts, ls2 timing chain, cam bearing, ls7 lifters, ect. I have $7000 tied up in this truck and would be pissed if i dropped my 150k mile motor in the truck and something fail as soon as a few days. I might could get by but id rather not take a chance. At least this way the motor will be fresh, trans is new, only thing to worry about would be the rear. I just feel this would be the smarter thing to do. Plus id feel better about turning it past 6,000 rpm's. Who wants a big cam and only turn it 6k? I also wouldnt be so worried about putting nitrous on a worn out motor. Any input?
Edit: May also see if i can find a set of LQ9 pistons and ditch these dish tops. Gotta check on ptv clearance first.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. My dad, sister, and me and my fiancee took a bike trip to my older sister for the weekend and had a blast. Finally put the bike through some good twisties. That **** was fun and I even drug some chrome off my exhaust getting too low in some of the turns.

my 6.0 i just parted out was a 05 and didnt have the nice ls2 rods
rod bolts
stock ls1 are good to max of 6800
stock ls6,ls2 and 6.0's are good to 7000
So 6800 is safe for a 6.0! I have 132k miles on my ls1 and 45k of them have been at 6800 and sees it a lot more then a auto with more gears and i dog the **** out of my car. Adding arp bolts is extra security 90% of the time when the motors blow up its the rod bolts breaking and i would do if i have my motor out. As far as looking for another set of stock rods and piston its not worth the money and time for 5-8hp!

Why not forge it and have the peace of mind that it can take whatever you throw at it? I'm doing forged piston and rods from TSP for my 6.0 block. Gonna be about 1200 bucks or so, but worth it in the long run. You can get em for stock bore as well.

I've got some lq4 piston and rods if anyone's interested. Not sure on the miles, but look pretty good. Just need some new rings. Sic knows they look pretty good. $100.00 or best offer

Because if I build my motor then ill need another trans. I plan on changing the whole setup next year and going forged with a th400. This 700r will be pushed to the limit with a stock motor on 150 shot. No need to build up the bottom end until I can use it. Just my opinion. Also think I'm over wanting to rebuild it. For what a stock rebuild would cost I could just buy a low mile lq9.

In that light of a truck I would go th350 or glide. Th400 will add weight and kill some power. Friend Tj in a heavyer car with 650hp 9 sec car had over 300 passes on th350 and now has a glide with over 150 passes and had tons of street miles on both neither broke. He went faster with the glide over the th350. Th350 and glide are both faster then a th400

Gotta love the wife. She went and put a 10 in a penny machine last night. Lost down to $2 and it hit $8. Pulled the 10 back out and suck it in a dollar machine and hit max bet then cashed out $544. Needless to say the s10 should be out soon.
