Bore size does not determine which rods you can use. Bore your block to whatever bore you want, buy your LS rods, and some forged D16 pistons.

There are certain years of B18 rods that will work, can't remember the specifics. I think all that has to be done to the rods is to modify them so the D16 piston pins will fit.

No, 81mm is way too big to bore a D16 to.. 79mm max for N/A, 78mm for boost is safest.

They need to be rebushed to accept the D16 ends, and they've gotta have the big end ground down to fit.
