I do know the rod have been, and continue to be the weak link in both the 4.6 & 5.0 ( GT500s are exempt ).
The LS3 can withstand far more power on the stock internals than either the 4.6 or 5.0.

You contradict yourself by saying the 5.0 motors are weak and then state there are no durability numbers because they don't exist.
You are correct in that they are the weakest link in the bottom end but the same holds true for the LS3. To say the LS3 bottom end is stronger than the 5.0 is just your speculation. Both motors use the SAME ROD CASTING. One is NOT stronger than the other. I would recommend some Google research.
Trivia question: how much boost can you run on a stock LS3 bottom end before it begins to have issues?
