They will in fact work. I have hundreds of hours on Chevy rods. The only =
thing is that you have to order custom rods. My machinist, a master
Chevy race motor builder, put me on to the specs and the rest is history. =
Love the Clevite bearing, super high quality and available in + or - .001 s=
izes already coated.
