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.
