Anyone know the modern part number for the connecting rod bolts. I think it is a Chevy rod bolt, which one? Thanks Dan

That's what I use. Much improved over stock type.
You are aware the knurled portion has to be taken down a little? Then you have a "pin" tight fit.

Most engine rebuilders use new bolts and discard the ones taken out of the Chevys. Since we don't torque near as far, I ask the shops or local mechanics for their used bolts. I'm cheap!
