from what I can see in the ARP catalogue (download from ARP's site) they look like direct replacements, but I guess someone at burton power will
know
but I have to ask why you want to fit them ?
the standard rods themself arn't that strong and are supposed to fail about 1" bellow the gudgeon pin rather than the bolts failing
(according to Des Hammill's book at least)
<<< my solution is in my avitar - forged rods 
cheap S/h from a cossie - but they are 0.060" longer  so pistons where an issue and they need some kind of oil spray jet (like the ones on a
cossie pickup pipe)
