do you need them for a 1 pc rear seal block or 2 pc rear seal block.I am not sure about the difference but I think 1 has a bigger crank bearing end

1CLEAN92 · 07-03-2008, 08:36 AM

The only real difference in the rods between the 2 were the LT1's and vortecs got the powdered medal rods which are lighter. Personally I would get a matched set of 8 from 1 350 engine. AKA when you buy a full set of rods marked from an engine, they were paired from the factory, setting the side clearances. If you buy a mismatched set that have had the sides machined it may be hard to get a pair within teh correct side clearance (thus creating a oil leak and oil pressure loss).
