Who knows if these con rods are for early or late LT5 engines? They have oil passages, which makes me think they're late design. Is there a market for them?
Mine out of 94 says 10146293SDF9. It may be this rod was manufactured in 93 - definitely later version LT5.
Whether rods were different between 90-92 vs. 93-95, I don't know.
Those are "early" 375hp 89~92 rods. They may be saleable, but not for much value and virtually no market. There were many rods, pistons & liners removed from engines for 368 & up builds & will be more in the future.
Here is a "late" style. Notice the smaller blocks on each side of the pin end and the rod cap. The rods were Lightened as an offset to the heavier piston change in the 93~95 models, along with a lighter, conical end pin.

Thanks greatly. These are from one of Tommy Morrison's ZR-1 racing programs, which would place them in the '90-'92 time frame.
regardless those are strong
sometimes with strength comes weight esp w/rpm and longevity
I didn't intend to infer there was any variation in strength between early & late rods, as in fact there is no difference. The difference I referred to is for visual recognition.
It's been said that the stock LT5 rods are good for 1,000hp. Lighter weight is the logic behind replacement with aftermarket.
