RE: rods/pistons

I dunno if you mean the 3.4L or 3.8 but according to my Spec sheet.... the 3.4L already has forged steel rods from the factory. (the LT1 V8 didn't even have forged steel rods...)

The pistons are aluminum alloy.

I dont have any specs for the 3.8 model.

The 93 & earlier LT1s had forged rods, the 94s & later had powdered metal rods which, according to GM, are stronger than forged rods.
