are the factory rod bolts re-usable or tty? hope there re-usable cause its torqued and the oil pan is on

 

ive heard both..............................good luck

 

if you had it open down there, why not replace with some arp's or some such?? cheap insurance for running in the fun rpm's.

 

I would get some Katechs

 

im trying to get this buttoned up so i can begin the swap and have it done in time for power tour. if time and budget allows, i will pop the pan off and throw some arp's at it, but for now i need to know if the stockers are re-usable. I have arp's on my 5.3 and i wanted to put them on the 6.0 too but funds are real tight. Its going in a 57 stepside or 69 c10 so it will be in and out for fittment.
