Re: LS Rod Swap.... How To
I just ordered custom bushings from crower (about $40 shipped) and then took everything to a machine shop. They shaved the big end, pressed in the bushings, and honed the bushing to fit the pin. They charged me $60 to do it. I got the rods for free, so $100 for beefier rods is a good deal to me.
I ordered the bushings 0.003 over on the outside diameter, a little smaller on the inside diameter, and a little longer on the length.
