Default 6.0 LQ4/LQ9 rods

Thought I would post this pic. I finally found it on my computer. I think the LQ9 rod is pretty easy to pick out.

I thought the only difference was the pistons? Interesting.

Will both those rods fit on the same Crank? What I'm asking is if I swapped the rods from a LQ9 into my LQ4 would I have to change the crank? or are the bases where the bearings are the same width?

Got any pictures of the top of the pistons side by side?

Default cranks r the same

all 6.0 cranks r the same, the pistons/rods are what is different between the 2 motors, you should have no prob with putting one into the other, not sure if the piston ends are the same so I'd say use the ones meant for either...
