SBC connecting rod help.

Can someone cross this merc part to a gm part? It's a '97 350 2bbl. The merc # is 614-8164t. They don't seem to be available. If some one has one or a set I would be interested. Thanks.

You can probably find them cheapest on ebay. All they are is stock gm rods.

Kenyo,
How many do you need ? I have several good used sets.

97 should be a stock GM powdered metal rod like used in all of the 5.7 Vortec engines. If you need an entire set the best price I have found is from GMPP through Pace GM parts etc. Be careful as there are some PM rods that are not GM rods even though they look pretty close.
