Schurkey,
I assure you that there are in fact 3/8" bolt dimple rods from Chevy.
This is what you got 396/375 and 427/425 427/435 and the early L-88 427/430
The later L-88s and ZR-1s IIRC have 7/16 bolt dimple rods.
the 454 LS-6 has dimple rods...not sure if the production car ones have 3/8 or 7/16" but leaning toward 7/16" but think not the Boron bolts of the LS-7.
The over the counter LS-7 had 7/16 dimple rods
By the early mid 70s all the crate hi perf BBC engines had 7/16"
Again, goin' off my memory

edit
mr 4 speed, check me out on this, ok

2nd edit
There were pressed and full floating versons too
