All the new 500's, 525's and 575's use the H beam Manley rod. Old carbed HP's used stock GM dimple rods.

nice looking picture, the stock 7/16 rods from chevy with some ARP rod bolts in them will be stronger than what most people need, I hear the manley rods are good for up to 800 hp

Is the Logo engraved or silk screened on? Seems like any type of engraving can lead to fracture lines????? (Just thinking out loud)

Do look cool though.
