Default LT4 Rods and Pistons

I've got some LT4 rods and pistons that came out of a '96 Corvette GranSport. I bought them, and decided that I won't use them because I'm going to build a forged 383, whenever I rebuild the motor. The guy said the car had around 50k on it when he took them out. They were cleaned and resurfaced at a machine shop right after removal. I don't really know what to ask for them. How bout $100 shipped. I'll get some pics up later on.

From what I've read, the LT4 pistons have shallower valve pockets on them, which I believe gives them a little higher compression. The rods are the same between the LT1's and LT4's, according to this http://grandsportregistry.com/lt1vslt4.htm. I'm assuming that the rods were not resized, since the guy I bought them from never mentioned anything about it.
