I think you will have to get the greddy bushing kit because the ls rods are 21mm rist pin and ours around 19 mm wrist pins. The bushing kit needs the rods to be resized and then pressed in. Plus the .044" shaving you probably know about. My local engine shop discouraged me from it saying the labour wasn't worth it when you can get d16 H beams for $245 shipped if you're lucky.

You're probably better off refreshing the stock bottom end for 180-200 whp.
