do I have to hone my 6.0 rods after I install arp bolts, and what rod and main bearings do you suggest?

You don't need to have the rods re-sized just because you are using new rod bolts. If you're doing a complete rebuild, and turning the crank, then I'd recommend re-sizing the rods. Otherwise, no.

As for the bearings, I'd recommend a trip to your local dealer, and use GM factory replacement bearings. They seem to have a VERY good track record.

 

Nice thanks, I have built tons of big blocks and small blocks and this is only my tenth ls all the others I used aftermarket rods. This one I want to find out a stock bottom end can take
