Mopar does not have a rod that will fit this crank.
That is unless some brave soul would dare machine the mopar rod that has a 2.125" big end diameter, to Chevy LS , 97-2013 yr. Width and use the attached pictured material to fit to the back of the required 2.1" bearing. Then you can use stock TRW L2405f forge pistons with the .984 pin. That will put you up .1050" closer to the deck. Since most stock 360 come with the piston already down the hole bout .10", you will come out ahead of the game without buying the "Chevy" kit. And I don't recommend useing valve grinding compound between your copper "spacers " in smallest quantity at the center of the back of the 2.1" LS rod bearing for extra friction insurance. Though, that is what I plan to do. Along with the notch needed to secure a good fit and cush.

Redacting .025" thick copper sheets...correct thickness would be 30ga copper sheet. 0.0124", good crafting.
