DHMag said:rods and caps are not stamped, they are marked. if your internals are heavily coated with oil residue, it will be difficult to see. all markings go towards the front of the car. also, i believe the tangs are placed on opposite sides. Chevy rods have all sorts of identifiers, FYI.
$250 is what i charge to do rod bearings minus parts. yeah, parts are less than 100, but you said yourself, 6 hours of labor. that where the price goes up.
i would not recommend taking your SHO to a mechanic with no knowledge of working on a SHO motor.
Dale did mine on my Gen 1 and I run her up to 7k all the time without worry.
